1 | God loves that you love | 1 John 4:18 | Wofa Ato | 217090 | ||
Fear is perverse faith. it is actually faith in the devil's ability to harm you. The only way to kick it out is to grow in love. If you fear love is not made complete in you . . . remember that God is Love (1 Jn 4:7,8). Simply put if you still have fear in you, then the fullness of God is not in you |

God's day to you, Wofa Ato, and welcome to the SBF, I am going to ask you several questions. What "fear is perverse faith"? I fear the Lord, my God. Three verses - read their context. John 9:31 "We know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He hears him. Acts 9:31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase Cornelius was a righteous and God-fearing (Acts 10:2, 10:22).

Hi, The answer to your first question as the "fear" of the Lord is not same as being afraid of God - No.God fearing is having reverence for God.It is believing in the awesomeness of God.For instance you have respect for your "earthly" father so much so that when you were a child there were certain things you just won't do . . .that is not being afraid of your dad!it is respecting his words. As written in Acts 9:31 the fear of the Lord is so much different that it goes on to say COMFORT in the Holy Spirit. Let me ask you something . . .when you were a kid, assume you were scared of ridding a bike because you may fall and be hurt . . . if you were put on a bike did you ever feel comfortable and happy to sit on it? That is the fear of nature . . . gravity. It is not the same as the fear of God |
