Ever find it a struggle to obey God’s Word, and actually enjoy it?
Listen in on this week’s episode of Thinking With Your Bible as Scott and Chris discuss how a healthy fear of the Lord leads to a willing obedience to His Word.
Key Points:
- The believer’s fear of the Lord is no longer slavish, but filial.
- The OT links the fear of the Lord to keeping His commandments.
- Jesus’s teaching in the NT confirms the OT connection between fearing God and obeying Him.
- Loving God is obeying him – you will not truly love God if you aren’t obeying Him.
- Love for, fear of, and obedience to God are inseparably connected.
- Our delight in obeying the Lord is made possible only through taking on Jesus who perfectly loved, feared, and obeyed His Father.
“Obedience is the fruit of the tree of which the fear of God is the root. We cannot rightly obey God if we do not fear Him -- if we do not honor, reverence, and love Him.” – Jerry Bridges, The Joy of Fearing God

When we fear something, we run away from them, right? Not so with God.

Scott and Chris dive deeper into the fear of God in this episode, and explain how the fear of God as His children help us from wandering.

Wisdom begins with a holy reverence, or fear, for the One who created the world. He knows all things, and has deposited the ability to search out and apprehend truth to all people. However, when we don’t connect true facts, or knowledge, to God, we may know things rightly but not truly.
Through Scripture, Scott and Chris dive into the connection between fearing God and true knowledge. We learn how the fear of the Lord helps us see ourselves rightly, give wisdom to others, identify foolishness, and more.
