The Fear of God

"The fear of God will cause a man to flee, not from Him, but from himself; not from Him but to Him, the Father of himself, in terror lest he should do Him wrong or his neighbor wrong."

~George MacDonald (1824-1905) Unspoken Sermons

IPeter 1:17 If you say, "our Father" to the One who judges every man impartially on the record of his deeds, you must stand in awe of him while you live out your time on earth.

Hebrews 12:28-29 Let us serve God with thankfulness in the ways which please him, but always with reverence and holy fear. For it is perfectly true that our God is a burning fire.
