Fear(Respect/Reverence)=Obedience

To have no fear(respect/reverence) for God, will probably lead us to live a life that lacks respect and obedience. Read Romans 3:11-18. Verse 18 culminates the reason for living in sin-No fear! I believe a parallel lies within our school system and perhaps many homes. Students and our children simply do not fear/respect authority(teachers, administrators, principals, parents) because the repercussions do not exist or are minimized. School administrators hands are tied through legalities and the kids learn this quickly. What results is disobedient behavior and at times destructive violent acts-a less nurturing/learning environment. We as God’s creation are oftentimes no different in our spiritual walk. When authority is disregarded, attitudes and actions are often ungodly. Our awesome God is all knowing, loving and powerful-deserving of our respect/reverence and obedience. Fearing God does not mean to be horrified, but simply having a wholesome and pure reverence to our all powerful Creator. Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
