1 | God loves that you love | 1 John 4:18 | Searcher56 | 217113 | ||
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 |
