A Delightful Fear of God

ABOUT THE MESSAGE: Christians today are often inclined to use substitute phrases for the word fear. The word is rarely used when describing an overflow of delight, joy, and love. Because this understanding of fear is foreign to our culture, Christians have felt pressured to use other words. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves highlights how these substitute words ultimately fail to encompass the depth and beauty of responding to God’s perfection and holiness with a trembling, overwhelmed, and fearful love.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The paradox of the gospel is that it frees us from our fears yet leads us to fear. We rejoice in this because the gospel helps us see God rightly. We can at once tremble before Him in all His holiness yet trust Him to deal with all our sins and misplaced fears. In this teaching series, Dr. Michael Reeves cuts through the confusion about the fear of the Lord so that we might grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God that is promised to all those who fear Him.
