2 | Reverential Fear of God | Is 26:10 | DocTrinsograce | 242217 | ||
Hi, Olga... Fear has a number of meanings. When we use the adjective reverential we are drawing attention to God's holiness, authority, nature, and character. As creatures we are dependent on Him as our creator and our continued existence (Acts 17:28); He is the judge of our character (Jeremiah 17:10); the standard of righteousness (1 Peter 1:15); our provider (Philippians 4:19); the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2); etc. God is sovereign over the entire universe (Psalm 103:19; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11). God is sovereign over all of nature (Psalm 135:6-7; Matthew 5:45; 6:25-30). God is sovereign over the angels, including Satan (Psalm 103:20-21; Job 1:12). God is sovereign over nations (Psalm 47:7-9; Daniel 2:20-21; 4:34-35). God is sovereign over human beings (1 Samuel 2:6-7; Galatians 1:15-16). God is sovereign over animals (Psalm 104:21-30; 1 Kings 17:4-6). God is sovereign over "accidents" (Proverbs 16:33; John 1:7; Matthew 10:29). God is sovereign over the free acts of men (Exodus 3:21; 12:25-36; Ezekiel 7:27). God is sovereign even over the sinful acts of men and Satan (2 Samuel 24:1; 1 Chronicles 21:1; Genesis 45:5; 50:20). He is all these things and more; and here we are, accountable to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Romans 14:12)! If just these few things do not cause us to feel awe, fear, and reverence, then I think we do not rightly understand what God has revealed to us about Himself. In Him, Doc |
