Re: Lets be serious does anyone really fear god?
Well this is the way I see it, My children have a healthy "reverence" for their Dad. They know that if they directly disobey, he will not be happy.... They also know that they can mess up and he will forgive them. Their love for him far outweighs any fear.
But they also know that he holds their little lives by a thread (that last sentence was just for the sake of drama).
So do I "fear" God? in the sense that I know that I am his child and that every breath I take depends on his grace, yes.
Am I afraid of Him? No, because I understand that He has only good things in mind for one of his favorite girls! (tic)
Even though I may not always see His Good gifts as being good, He is sovereign. He is not hiding behind a bush waiting to pounce if I mess up, He loves me and wants to guide me in the paths of righteousness-- not beat me into submission
