“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom”

Proverbs 9:10
Are you afraid to: play with snakes? spiders? touch a hot burner?
Fear of doing foolish things can be a healthy thing. Yet spiders and snakes don’t have the power to determine where you spend eternity.
It seems that many people in our society do not fear the LORD as our forefathers did. Many teenagers (and adults too for that matter), even some who “believe” they are “Christians” are not afraid to sin.
Our LORD, Jesus did not come to give us an excuse to live a sinful life! Read the words of Jesus and you will find that He preached the law to the proud and gave grace and mercy to the humble. He warned that unless you are more righteous than the scribes and Pharisees, “you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven”.
Matthew 5:20
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. -
Hebrews 10:31
Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith 2 Corinthians 13:5
Jesus said “And whoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”.
Matthew 23:12
Jesus said “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are worked in God.”
John 3:16-21
(American King James Version)
