Three Ways Of Fearing The Lord - Jonah 1:7-16

Preached by: Ptr. James Bryner Chu

"The fear of the Lord," as is written in both Psalm 111:10 and Proverbs 9:10, "is the beginning of wisdom." "Fear", these two verses imply, is central to the Christian's life of true faith and obedience. But what, exactly, does this "fear" mean?

There is a kind of fear rooted in terror and a sense of dread, but yet another that is premised on reverence and awe. John Murray writes: "There is the dread or terror of the Lord and there is the fear of reverential awe. There is the fear that consists in being afraid; it elicits anguish and terror. There is the fear of reverence; it elicits confidence and love."

"Fear", as a word, can mean a great many things, but only one of them applies most truly when it comes to the "fear" of the Lord.
