Fear God

  1. W. E. Vines says that knowledge –

    - is a “scientific or general knowledge” of something - or the “process of receiving knowledge and coming to realize a particular thing.”

  2. Ghinosko is a relationship between the person “knowing” and the object known. In this respect, what is “known” is of value or importance to the one who knows, and hence the establishment of a

    .

  3. In a nutshell, ghinosko is having an “intimate, experiential” knowledge of God, which is equivalent to “

    God.”

  4. I believe I can accurately say that without a genuine fear of the Lord, we cannot

    know Him.

  5. The

    have no relationship with God revealed in Hebrews 10:31 - It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

  6. The born-again believer has a relationship with God, as seen in Hebrews 4:16 - Let us therefore come

    unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

  7. Instead of being

    of God’s judgment, we should resist sin because we love and Him, and never want to hurt Him in any way.

  8. God, knowing the nature of mankind, knew if people had no relationship with Him, they would create one with something or someone

    than Himself.

  9. Sadly, Aaron felt more at peace being with

    than being in God’s presence.

  10. Feelings of unworthiness and condemnation are the very reason we must study God’s Word to find out

    we really are in Him, and we already possess in Christ.

  11. It’s so sad to see that God’s chosen people chose to follow a man who had actually

    an “invitation from God” to come fellowship with Him!

  12. Scripture shows us that when people reduced God down to an “image” that was inferior to what He really is, they actually became

    fleshly and carnal.

  13. Another problem in reducing God to a lower being is that people start believing that “He doesn’t

    ” what I’m doing!

  14. When God asked CAIN where ABEL was, God already knew, but He asked in order to extend grace, giving Cain an

    to come clean and repent.

  15. We only need to look to

    to dispel our fears.

  16. We must be cautious not to

    a man with “charisma” but no “character”.

  17. Remember that

    reveals a lack of the fear of God.
