The Fear God

Knowing GodSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg delves into the concept of fearing God in this thought-provoking exploration. While some may view the Old Testament God as wrathful and fearsome, Gregg argues that fear should not be associated solely with punishment. Instead, he proposes that fear of the Lord is a healthy reverence and awe, a recognition of His immense power and wisdom. Gregg emphasizes the importance of understanding the fear of God as the foundation of true wisdom and righteousness, urging listeners to embrace a wholesome fear that leads to a closer relationship with God and a rejection of sinful ways.
