🎯 Proverbs 1:7 says: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

If you feared Him, truly, you would receive His free grace, and cease from your lies about believers needing to be justified by Law adherence.

How could you not be scared of God you cant even see his face without dying, that is terrifying and incomprehensible power.

Jesus said don't be afraid. 🤷‍♂️ Lol. 💀

Plus if you do everything He tells you then most of the time you’re like, “what the heck am I DOING right now?”

He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and flooded the Earth. He is very scary if you piss him off.

Not enough people have read the Old Testament

Agreed. Had an old friend argue that having a healthy fear of the Lord is not the right way to look at God. I always thought it was. Healthy fear of my father too. He’d beat my butt if I was out of line.

God is just a human projection so he is whatever you want him to be.

Absolutely. 🔥 YAHUAH is love. But Scripture also repeatedly tells us to: # **FEAR YAHUAH.** Not because He is evil. Because He is: **HOLY. JUST. ALMIGHTY. AND JUDGE.** 🔥 **“The fear of YAHUAH is the beginning of knowledge…”** — Proverbs 1:7 **“And now, Israel, what doth YAHUAH thy Elohim require of thee, but to FEAR YAHUAH thy Elohim, to walk in all his ways, and to love him…”** — Deuteronomy 10:12 Notice something beautiful: **FEAR HIM** and **LOVE HIM** are not opposites. YAHUAH commands BOTH. ❤️‍🔥 And YAHUSHA himself says: **“Fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body…”** — Matthew 10:28 So righteous fear is not pretending YAHUAH is waiting to hurt us. It is recognizing: **He is not like us.** He is the Most High. His judgments are real. His authority is real. His holiness is real. And His Word should not be treated casually. 🔥 Scripture ends the matter plainly: **“Fear Elohim, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”** — Ecclesiastes 12:13 So yes: # **LOVE YAHUAH WITH ALL YOUR HEART.** But also: # **FEAR YAHUAH ENOUGH TO TAKE HIS WORD SERIOUSLY.** That is not unhealthy fear. That is wisdom. 🔥❤️

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful/terrifying/terrible/dreadful/awful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom.

He’s your Heavenly Father, but for most he’s God and your King

He’s scary, and should be feared, but do not worship him in fear alone! 😅I’d add that

Good news is it's not on a whim. We very much have a choice

Tell homie to read the Book of Revelation. That ain’t no hippie Jesus passing out I love you T-shirts.

Bro, I saw this and didn’t have time that moment. Good work!!!

We are pretty much in hell in the flesh I find honestly these days.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: Also…John 8:47 He who is of God, hears God's words. You cannot hear his words because you are not of God. It’s ALL about can u suffer in silence until he speaks then do it over and over and over until he

There’s a reason that calling someone “God-fearing” is a compliment

Yeah but fear of punishment shows immaturity in faith and one's walk, because there is no fear in one who has even been perfected in love. Maybe fear of punishment is good to get one facing God, but it won't keep him there for the right reasons and with saving faith. 🙏❤️

Right😭literally says but FEAR HIM who can destroy body and soul in Hell

So you’re saying we’re all god? Gotcha!

And thus, the fool.

Get to know the Father's heart!

Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.

And he can do it at any time of the day or year

Israel God is a bull dude named Ba'al.

Fear of the Lord is the start of Wisdom

Yup

You’re on it lately!! Good shit

They think shit sweet

Work out you own salvation with fear and trembling

He's very loving and patient and will give you every opportunity to be the human being He created you to be. If you refuse His gift, that's on you.

Or maybe just don’t consistently do dumb stuff
