What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord? I answered that question on this episode of Real Truth Real Quick.
Show Notes:
Principles:
- God does not punish us for our sin so much as sin is its own punishment. See also Romans 6:23.
- The sin that offends God most is when we ascribe to God things that are untrue.
- Blasphemy is attributing to God something that is untrue or taking away from God something that is true. When we trifle with Truth, it will cost us.
- When you leave God, you are going to leave light, life and love.
- To fear the Lord means having a right understanding of who God is.
- The bible isn’t a rule book, it’s a love letter in which God reveals himself to us.
- Our sin is the constant belief that god is not good, His word is not true, and disobeying Him isn’t a big deal.
