Re:Verse passage – 1 Peter 1:10-17 (day three)
“If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay.”
The Bible has much to say about fearing God. The Bible says these things not because God intends to frighten you, but because your every instance of wanting power or preference over fellow human beings leads you to ignore God, and when that happens, the world is a very dangerous place indeed. The earth and the heavens are a complex system that conform only to the limits that God has set. They won’t be pushed beyond those limits without disastrous consequences. You need God’s wisdom in order to live in harmony with God’s creation. The same is true with fellow human beings. The fear of God will lead you to live in harmony with people.
Absolutely correct. Even many Christians don’t have a healthy fear of God. They live on the edge of a worldly lifestyle but still expect God to protect them from the results. But thankfully the Lord has a way of getting our attention even if it hurts.🙏🙏
