Most people that don’t read the Bible think that God is just love. Man has always taken advantage of love, as most of us have experienced. But the Bible says:
The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, everyone from his place, even all the isles of the heathen. (Zephaniah 2:11)
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. (Joel 2:31)
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. (Psalm 66:3)
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11)
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10)
And, if anyone doesn’t’ think that people are not moved by fear, you are not reading the same Bible I’m reading, especially the Old Testament. It was the fear of the Lord that worked obedience in the people (Proverbs 16:6).
Yes, He’s still the same God! Be eternally conscious!
