Pictured above Psalm 34:7-9 says The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear Him. This promises if you fear God and stop sinning, you will not lack anything and all your needs will be provided.
Fear God Who Is Jesus And Get Saved
Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,
Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel,
That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again
Fearing God is the starting point of becoming wise. Job 28:28 says And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. Proverbs 1:7 says The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 15:33 says The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
If you fear God you will become wise. The Lord Jesus is wisdom. 1 Corinthians 1:30 says wisdom is a person named the Lord Jesus. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Proverbs 3:13 says if you get saved with the Lord Jesus, you will become wise with length of days, riches, honour, pleasantness, and peace. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Let's learn why it's blessed to fear God. Pictured above Proverbs 9:9 says Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning; The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. For by me (wisdom who is a person named Jesus) thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.
When you fear God and worship the Lord Jesus, your days and years of life will be increased with blessings. Jesus said at John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Proverbs 10:27 says The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
Fearing God is coupled together with good health and you'll live longer if you fear God. But the years of the wicked shall be shortened because they live carelessly, recklessly, and do not fear God. It's better to have a little with righteousness, fearing God, than to be a rich, wealthy billionaire living in an extravagant palace that does not fear God. Psalm 37:16 says A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Proverbs 15:16 says Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith. Proverbs 16:8 says Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. Proverbs 15:17 says Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. Proverbs 17:1 says Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife.
Proverbs 9:12 says If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. You can't be wise for other people. I wish I could personally save millions of people all over this earth. But every person has to be wise for themselves and make the choice to get saved. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Like Brother Bob, plant and water lost sinners with the seed of the Word of God by preaching the bible over this internet, and in Jesus name we believe that God will give the increase and win multitudes of lost souls all over this earth to the Lord Jesus.
Daniel Webster pictured above feared God and wrote the above noted masterpiece. Take time to say Daniel Webster's quote. If we work upon marble it will perish; If we work upon brass, time will efface it; If we build temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men's immortal minds and hearts, enduing them with high principles and the just fear of God and love of fellow man, we engrave on tablets something which time can not erase.
Benjamin Franklin also feared God and said Fear God, and your enemies will fear you. Read the following words of Benjamin Franklin about the fear of God that he wrote before he died. Money never made a man happy, yet nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness from this world. The more a man has, the more he will want. Instead of money filling a vacuum, money creates a bigger vacuum. If it satisfies one want, it doubles and triples that want another way.
The fear of God makes us confident and secure. Proverbs 14:26 says In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. When you fear God, you will not be afraid and have strong confidence and peace. 1 John 4:18 says There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
If you fear God and look to Jesus Christ crucified daily, you will not be afraid of anything. Try this when you have to face fear and your enemies. Look at perfect love that is Jesus Christ crucified on the cross of Calvary by faith with your heart and fear will disappear while you have boldness to face your enemies.
Proverbs 1:33 promises that if you fear God, you will dwell safely. God said But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Praise the Lord Jesus and say Psalm 4:7. Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.
Fearing God will bring you into the deep knowledge of God's Word to understand mysteries and be able to teach multitudes about the Lord Jesus. Proverbs 2:1 says My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
Fearing God is good for your physical and spiritual health. Proverbs 14:27 says The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. Proverbs 19:23 says The fear of the Lord tendeth to life (abundant life with Jesus): and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
Proverbs 3:5 says Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel (calm your nerves), and marrow to thy bones (like a refreshing cup of cold water). It's worth fearing God to receive unlimited blessings of peace. Get saved and fear God. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again.
An Olympic runner named Eric Liddell pictured above was called the runner that feared God. In 1924 Eric Liddell, an American Olympic runner was the favorite to win the gold medal in the men's 100 meter race. But when Eric, a faithful christian, learned that his race would be run on a Sunday, he announced to the Olympic Committee that he could not participate in the race. Eric said "I'm sorry but I fear God and I do not believe that I can race on the Lord's day and honor the Lord Jesus."
Many who had praised Eric now called him a fool. But Eric stood firm and confident that God would be pleased with his decision. Then when a runner dropped out of the 400 meter race due to injury, Eric was asked to fill the slot and because the race was scheduled for a Thursday, Eric agreed. He said sure I'll try it though he had never run beyond 100 meters in his life. When the 400 meter race was run, Eric set a new world's record at 47.6 seconds taking home the gold for America. He later went to China to become a blessed missionary for our Lord Jesus.
Fearing God produces holiness and sanctification. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. James 1:21 says Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity (past sins before salvation) of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Proverbs 8:13 says The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 16:6 says By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. Note the two step process in Proverbs 16:6. First sin is removed by Jesus from a lost sinner. Then sanctification occurs for the saved christian who departs from evil. In other words first we are saved by grace when we trust in the Lord Jesus. Next the result is a sanctified holy life of good deeds that will be rewarded at the bema judgment seat after the rapture.
If you fear God, you will not want the Lord Jesus to find you sinning when he returns in the air to meet us during the rapture. In other words fearing God and looking for Jesus' soon return will purify you and stop you from sinning, avoiding death and sorrow caused by sin. This is proven by 1 John 3:2 that says Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
Proverbs 22:4 says By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. Fearing God blesses a person with riches (material blessings), and honour, and life (spiritual blessings). I pray in Jesus name after people all over this earth read this bible study, they realize that it's worth it to fear God and receive many blessings.
A John Hopkins University medical research professor made an incredible discovery. He found by scientific investigation that fearing God and attending church is proven to be good for your health. This man discovered that the risk of heart disease was found to be twice as high in men who do not fear God as it was in those who profess to be God fearing church goers. The professor also discovered that so called clean life associated with regular church goers was found to be statistically related to a much lower incidence of other major illnesses and diseases. This man concluded that fearing God and going to church is a very favorable factor in a healthy physical life.
Fearing God will cause you to serve God acceptably. Hebrews 12:28 says Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Ecclesiastes 12:13 says Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
The Lord Jesus is a consuming fire that will soon return to touch this earth with his feet at the Mount of Olives in Israel. If a meteorite hit this earth, it would be felt. How much more will it be felt on this earth when the Lord Jesus' feet that are like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace touch this earth and create Mount Zion in Jerusalem that is higher than Mount Everest where the Lord Jesus will rule and reign as King of this earth during the millennium.
Isaiah 2:2 says that nations will go up to Mount Zion to worship King Jesus to receive blessings on this earth during the millennium. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
