Subject: Be Fearers of God |
Bible Note: "Doctrine: It is an indispensable duty incumbent on Christians to be fearers of God. 'Fear thou God' (Ecclesiastes 5:7). 'That thou mayest may fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD' (Deuteronomy 28:58). This goes to the very constituting of a saint. One can no more act as a Christian without fear, than he can act as a man without reason. This holy fear is the fixed temper and complexion of the soul; this fear is not servile but filial. There is a difference between fearing God, and being afraid of God; the godly fear God as a child does his father, the wicked are afraid of God as the prisoners is of the judge. This divine fear will appear admirable if you consider how it is mixed and interwoven with several of the graces." --Thomas Watson (1620-1686) |
