The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Ecclesiastes. 9:10 NIV
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
1 John 4:16 NIV
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18 NIV
As we mature in the spirit of God, we realize that true riches will be found in God's kingdom, why? because it will last forever. Everything here on earth is temporary and hence we ought do things knowing that it will have an eternal consequence. We all fear God and in a way the fear is essential, but the Spirit of God within us, is not of fear but of Love. When you're in love(at least at the initial stage) you wouldn't say or do anything to hurt you partner, right! That's because your in love with this person and you don't fear, but respect this person, likewise God loves you, not just in the initial stage but being fully aware of who you are, your thoughts, desires and actions. He loves you so much that He sent His only son to die, so that you may live. Will you then fear this God or Love Him back?
I pray that you realize the love God our Father has for you for He is a Good Good Father!! May you love Him like his son Jesus who was obedient to His word. And may His Holy Spirit assure you of His love always. Amen
