What emotion should Christians feel toward God?
What emotion should Christians feel toward God?
Christians are to love God.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. –Deuteronomy 6:5
Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” –Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27
Christians are to fear God.
Fear the LORD your God, serve him only –Deuteronomy 6:13
The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread –Isaiah 8:13
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. –Luke 12:5
And always remember…
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
