Bible Answer: fishyu, "The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.(Cf. Isa 11:1-2).They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. " http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c1a7.htm#1831 Read Luke 4:8 and Deut 6:4-25 There is a difference between the servile fear of a slave for his master and the filial fear or awe of cild for his Father. St. Paul addresses this in Galatians 4. Jesus as pointed out above had "fear of the Lord", but it was the awe of a Son not the servile fear of an slave. Read Galatians 4. Jesus says "fear him who can destroy both body and soul" (Luke 12:5)who is also the only one who can save body and soul. Emmaus |
