What The Fear Of God Must Do In Us

People will do anything to escape death. They will listen to and obey every word of a kidnapper. Giving to him the things they consider dear, lowering themselves to the place of a slave or animal - All for their life, all that a bullet would not pierce their skin or a razor slit their throat.

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28 ESV" With all that the fear of death causes man to do; should not God's righteous judgment produce a fear that brings holiness and purity in us?

i like your thought, and it seems as we get closer and closer to the end times; people's fear in god is diminishing.

Amen! This is a very good line of thought. so many ppl walk away.. they have lost a fear reverance, or respect of God, a fear of eternity.. i know many who push the thought of it away because they are afraid, they don't see it as forcefully as a razor to their throat so they pretend it's not a reality..
