Fear the Lord 

(He 5:7-11) 



God is seated on the throne above (Rev 4:10-11). 

He created all things and is above them. 

He created all spirits and is above them (Eze 28:13; He 12:9). 



Faith is fearing Him, and 

The life of faith is fearing God until salvation is finally achieved. 



To fear or to revere refers to 

Falling before the victorious king in adoration. 



Sin, according to the Bible, refers to 

Being fearless before God (Ge 2:17, Ge 3:4-6): 

Adam fearlessly ate the forbidden fruit and was 

Banished from the Garden in the end, because 

He was deceived by the serpent, that is Satan, who 

Dared to challenge the throne of God in heaven and 

He was cast down (Is 14:12-15; Rev 12:7-9). 



For Noah feared God 

When he was warned of the flood, he built the ark and 

He was saved from it while the entire world was destroyed (He 11:7). 



For Abraham feared God 

As God instructed he did not withhold his only son 

But instead gave him as an offering to God (Ge 22:12). 

As result, he received the promise of many descendants and the only Son of God (Ge 22:18). 



Furthermore, God gave the Law to Israel to test them (Ex 20:20). 

While they feared Him, they eventually tested God, angering Him (Mal 1:14). 

The sanctuary where the name of the Lord God was 

The reminder for them to fear Him. 



Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it again in three days (Jn 2:19), because 

Through the death and the resurrection of the temple of His body, 

He would fear and honor the Father for 

He is the very nature God who was with the Father in the beginning but 

Took the very nature of a servant coming in the flesh (Jn 1:1; Php 2:6-8) 

To set a model of fearing and honoring the Father (Mt 20:28; Rm 8:29). 



As He died, Jesus said, "It is finished (Jn 19:30), declaring that He: 

1. Laid down His life and honored the Father (Jn 10:18; PHp 2:6-8); 

2. Destroyed the angel who fearlessly challenged God (Is 14:12-15; Jude 1:6); and 

3. Redeemed and set free those held in slavery by their fear of death (Mt 20:28; He 2:14-15). 

For Jesus revered the One who could save Him from death, 

While He was in the flesh He offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears (He 5:7-11). 

Finally He was heard and saved from death, and 

He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who honor Him (Jn 5:23). 



The Holy Spirit comes in the name Yeshua To those who believed and received His name (Jn 1:12), and 

Lets them know Him (1Co 2:11) and fear: 

1. His judgment (Jn 5:21-23; 2Ti 4:1); 

2. Being cut off from the fellowship with the Holy Spirit (Ps 51:11; 2Co 13:14); and 

3. Not being heard (Pr 1:28-29). 

Therefore, the man of the Spirit 

Reveres Yeshua and His word, 

Reveres His body the church and the given duties, and 

Reveres the appointed overseers (2Sa 6:16; 2Ki 2:24; Ac 8:11), 

For he longs for the day when he can go before Him who sits on the throne and 

Fall down before Him and worship Him forever (Rev 4:10-11). 



O Lord, 

I repent for having been fearless before You! 

I want to honor You starting this New Year so 

Do not let the Holy Spirit cease working in me! 

Hear me whenever I cry out to You! 

Amen.
