The Life Manual, the Bible - Luke 12:5
says:
"But I will show you whom you should
fear: Fear him who, after the killing of
the body, has power to throw you into
hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."
These are the eternal words of Jesus. It
is of paramount importance that a person
must fear God. When a person fears God,
God is in-charged of his life. He lives
a guided life because he learns to
respect and obey God. He will seek God's
Way and do His Will. Can God be wrong in
His Way? Never! So, when a person does
God's Way, he pleases God and God is
pleased with him. In fact, 1 John 4:16
says: "God is love." Unless God is
provoked, love does no harms to anyone
but good. Resembling a child is kept
safe in obedience to its parents while
unheeding children end up in
catastrophes & miseries.
Everything has a law in placed. The law
of gravity brings back the thing thrown
to the sky. When breathing stops death
takes over. Squandering one's money
makes one a pauper. Forgoing safety
comes hurts & damages and the list goes
on and on. Every action has a
predetermined consequence whether in
one's favor or against. Hence the saying
goes, "you reap what you sow". When rice
is planted don't expect wheat for
harvest!
Therefore the execution of God's Way can
bring abundant rewards to a person
either in this life or next or both. On
the other hand wraths are in stored for
those who practise their own evil ways.
Prov 9:10 says: "The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding.
Ps 111:10 says: The fear of the LORD is
the beginning of wisdom; all who follow
his precepts have good understanding.
Luke 1:50 says: His mercy extends to
those who fear him, from generation to
generation.
Eccl 8:12-13 says: Although a wicked man
commits a hundred crimes and still lives
a long time, I know that it will go
better with God-fearing men, who are
reverent before God. Yet because the
wicked do not fear God, it will not go
well with them, and their days will not
lengthen like a shadow.
Eccl 12:13-14 says: Fear God and keep
his commandments, for this is the whole
[duty] of man. For God will bring every
deed into judgment, including every
hidden thing, whether it is good or
evil.
Rev 14:7 says:
"Fear God and give him glory, because
the hour of his judgment has come.
Worship him who made the heavens, the
earth, the sea and the springs of
water." |
