The Fear of the Lord

The reason we sin is because we do not fear the Lord.

  • Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge:
    but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:11 - Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
  • Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 

The reason we do not fear the Lord is because we do not tremble at His Word. 

  • Isaiah 66:2 - "..but to this man will I look,
    even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit,
    and trembleth at my word."

The reason we do not tremble at His Word is because we do not treasure it. 

  • Matthew 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
