Fear of God

'Fear - be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event"

So Fear, as per the famous search engine is an anticipation of a potential unpleasant outcome.

So What is "Fear" of God??

My Professor, My Mentor gave a beautiful process of fear of God.

This Fear of God is,

1. Withholding a potential Insult to God

2. Not being a cause of his precious tears

3. Not willing to nail Him on the cross again and again.

Because you LOVE HIM

Withholding Insult:

Imagine that you are in a posh, cozy hotel. "Someone" has paid the bill for "whatever" you can eat.

Now if

1. you throw away the food or

2. complain of the food or

3. spit on it

You would be insulting Him.

Now God has paid the price for our sins at the Cross. His precious Blood was shed for Our sins. He underwent shame and humiliation which were reserved for us.

If we keep doing things/sins/whatever which were best left forgotten, we insult him.

So it is the Fear of Making God shed tears, God suffering again, God, the Blemish-less Lamb, being slain again makes us Abstain from Sins.

So it is the Fear that arises our of Love that implies in "Fear of God"

Good day to you!!
