What does it mean to truly fear the Lord—not with paralyzing dread, but with reverent awe that shapes how we live?
In this message, we examine the fear of the Lord through the lens of the New Testament, exploring how a believer’s awareness of God’s holiness, accountability, and grace produces intentional living, faithful obedience, and bold witness. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:9–11, we see how living before the face of God clarifies our purpose, steadies our hearts, and motivates us to live in a way that pleases Him.
This sermon complements our ongoing study of wisdom without repeating the Sunday School lesson, calling us instead to examine how the fear of the Lord functions in everyday Christian life.
“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” (2 Corinthians 5:11)
