The fear that the Bible relates to us,"Fear of God".
Are often and by most used in relation to this type of
fear. That's why it is not accepted by many, because
of it's negative and terrifying emotional connotation
attached to it. and this fear involves torment.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7
1 John 4 vs 17;
There is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out fear,....
Fear:
phobos (fob-oss): In classical Greek the word signi-
fies flight.Later it came to denote that which causes
flight; hence "fear," "terror," and "dread." In the New
Testament phobos denotes both the fear, meaning
"terror," and fear, meaning "reverence towards God."
We got our modern word phobia from the Greek word
phobos.
Fear is the opposite force of faith.Faith Comes from
meditating on the promises of GodFear entered the
human race after the Fall of man in the Garden of
Eden.Fear entered the human mind the time sin
entered Adam and Eve. Before the fall there were no
such thing as fear. God wants His people to be free
from fear; but, for that to happen, there must be a
renewing of the mind.
When the love of God has been perfected in your
personality, you will not live in fear. God's love
poured out completely in our hearts and minds drives
fear out of lives. When we realise how much God
really loves us and wants the best for us, then we
can totally trust Him and fear will leave our lives.
Job 28 vs 27,28;
Then He saw wisdom and declared it;He prepared it,
indeed, He searched it out. And to man He said,
Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to
depart from evil is understanding.
Psalm 111 vs 10;
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; A
good understanding have all those who do His
commandments. His praise endures forever.
Proverbs 9 vs 10;
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And
knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 15 vs 33;
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, And
before honour in humility.
Ecclesiastes 12 vs 13;
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
God and keep His commandments, for this is mans
all.
