1 Peter 1:17-25
1 Peter 1:17-25
Fear of God is not the opposite of His love. Love with respect leads to healthy fear. It’s better to fear God’s displeasure than to suffer the anger of any number of people. God is angry at injustice & anything that keeps people from experiencing His love. Holiness is important because life is short, God is our judge, and the blood of Jesus is so precious. God paid the highest possible price to grant freedom to His children. The works which we were made to do will bear fruit, and earn us a reward in Heaven.
