while Growing in Grace"
-Matt. 28:19-20, 2 Pet. 3:18
Reverent fear is a different kind of fear we have for someone or something. Reverent is a form of respect. As Christians, we are instructed to fear the Lord our God. Not as being scared, but rather having respect for the Lord our God. We can show our reverence for God by:
Obeying His Word
Praise and Worship Him
Loving others with Godly love
Surrendering ourselves whole-heartedly to Him
Trust Him
There are scriptures in the bible to help Reverence the Lord our God. If you have not received Christ as your personal savior, Romans 10:9-10 tells us; if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in our hearts that God has raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Receive Christ in your life today, and have the reverential fear for God that I speak of. Psalm 34:9 says, O fear the Lord, you His saints; for to those who fear Him there is no want.
