I have heard people time and time again saying that they are good god fearing christians and a question just popped in my head today about that statement.
What is it that god has put in us that we should fear him? I have been mulling it over all day at work and i can't help but think that this would be the anthem of a person who says that they believe in god but in reality doesn't know god.
We can see in scripture over and over that we are not to fear. The word of god has never put the impression on me that i should be afraid of anything coming from the lord, so why is it that people say they are living in fear of the lord?
Just trying to get my head around this and i keep coming to the same conclusion that this statement is one made by a person who does not have a relationship with the lord.
Would love some opinions.
