Here you go:
Is unbelief, to some extent why?
There is no fear in
love; but
perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made
perfect in
love.
Proverbs 3:7
Be not wise in thine own eyes:
fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
There is a fear to have, and it is of evil, not God, for god is not evil. If one decides to part from evil, then they are on their way to know Father, God and then one comes to understand 1 John 4:18
So there is a reverent fear for God, and there is a fear of the people, that do evil, that includes self you think? For we all have done evil have we not, and we all have the potential to do it again is this true?
How do we do evil, in fear of what? Not having a job, being homeless, no money to buy groceries, if one ever gets in that position, a relevant scripture is:
Luke 16
Living Bible (TLB)
16 Jesus now told this story to his disciples: “A rich man hired an accountant to handle his affairs, but soon a
rumor went around that the accountant was thoroughly dishonest.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]“So his employer called him in and said,
‘What’s this I hear about your stealing from me? Get your report in order, for you are to be dismissed.’
[SUP]3 [/SUP]“The accountant thought to himself, ‘Now what? I’m through here, and I haven’t the strength to go out and dig ditches, and I’m too proud to beg.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]I know just the thing! And then I’ll have plenty of friends to take care of me when I leave!’
[SUP]5-6 [/SUP]“So he invited each one who owed money to his employer to come and discuss the situation. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe him?’ ‘My debt is 850 gallons of olive oil,’ the man replied. ‘Yes, here is the contract you signed,’ the accountant told him. ‘
Tear it up and write another one for half that much!’
[SUP]7 [/SUP]“‘And how much do you owe him?’ he asked the next man. ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ was the reply. ‘
Here,’ the accountant said, ‘take your note and replace it with one for only 800 bushels!’
[SUP]8 [/SUP]“The rich man had to admire the rascal for being so shrewd.[SUP][a][/SUP]And it is true that the citizens of this world are more clever in dishonesty* than the godly* are. [SUP]9 [/SUP]
But shall I tell you to act that way, to buy friendship through cheating? Will this ensure your entry into an everlasting home in heaven?[SUP][
b][/SUP]
[SUP]10 [/SUP]No! For unless you are honest in small matters, you won’t be in large ones. If you cheat even a little, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?[SUP]12 [/SUP]And if you are not faithful with other people’s money, why should you be entrusted with money of your own?
Are we not all guilty of this unrighteous mammon (money). Do we not all scurry around not to lose our earthly wealth’s?
So let us not be like the man that goes into the temple with another, one says:
Luke 18:9-14
Living Bible (TLB)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Then he told this story to some who boasted of their virtue and scorned everyone else:
[SUP]10 [/SUP]“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a proud, self-righteous Pharisee, and the other a cheating tax collector.[SUP]11 [/SUP]The proud Pharisee ‘prayed’ this prayer: ‘Thank God, I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like that tax collector over there! For I never cheat, I don’t commit adultery,[SUP]12 [/SUP]I go without food twice a week, and I give to God a tenth of everything I earn.’
[SUP]13 [/SUP]“But the corrupt tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed, but beat upon his chest in sorrow, exclaiming, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner.’[SUP]14 [/SUP]I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home forgiven! For the proud shall be humbled, but the humble shall be honored.”
Are we listening? We do have two ears right, is that so we can listen twice as much as we speak? God put them here right two ears, one mouth, you decide, listen to God the creator of all or this world in the way it is set up, as in do to get, with unrighteous money.
Well then how can one survive, is the? At hand
Micah 6:8
Living Bible (TLB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]No
, he has told you what he wants, and this is all it is:
to be fair, just, merciful, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He has shown you, O man, what
is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
So, go about life and do as justly as possible, if and whenever one fails, love Mercy, do not take it for granted and walk in humility, do not think yourself better than anyone else for the rain rains on all, whether good or bad, get it
Do what you can for the situation you are in, and pray for Mercy in it
Love to all, Homwardbound
