FEAR GOD

Psalms 67:7
"God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear Him."

When people "Praise the Lord!" God will bless us! We gratefully receive God's love and salvation for "ALL NATIONS." God's plan for humanity has no boundaries, limitations or exclusions. EVERYONE who accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved! It's a heart issue. EVERYONE needs to welcome Jesus into their hearts. "Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us."

What does it mean to FEAR GOD??? It might be understandable to be scared of GOD. But, the Holy Bible is teaching us to have a profound reverence, awe, and respect for Him. This reverence stems from recognizing His power, holiness, and majesty, and it leads to a desire to please and obey Him. It is akin to the respect and love a child has for a parent, where the child wants to please the parent out of love and respect, not out of fear of punishment.

The concept of fearing God is often described in the Bible as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. It involves understanding God's hatred for sin and His judgment on sin, which should motivate believers to live in a way that pleases Him.

This fear can also be seen as a form of mutual respect for our Creator, leading to a relationship characterized by trust, confidence, and love. Our world would be a better place if more people FEARED GOD.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...
