In Week One of The Fear of God: Essentials for Spiritual Formation, Pastor Taylor teaches that the fear of the Lord is not about living terrified of God. It is a profound sense of awe, reverence, and respect for His holiness, authority, justice, and sovereign power. This biblical reverence produces humility, wisdom, obedience, and a life that seeks to glorify God.
God’s grace does not cancel His holiness. As believers, we are called to align our thoughts, decisions, relationships, and daily lives with His character. We must learn to love what God loves, turn away from evil, pursue what is good, and make peace a daily priority.
