21. The Blessing Fear
It is reported that more than 70% of diseases are caused by fear and worry. Fear is harmful for health but there are necessary fears and reverence.
① Reverence of God is helpful and a blessing. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.(Proverb 1:7)”. You can overcome any other fears if you revere only one, the Lord.
② He who scorns instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command is rewarded. All paganism stemmed from the no-fear for the Scripture.
③ You have to be afraid of the wages of sin. You’ll repent of your sin if you seek pleasure. You’ll pay an eternal penalty for your sins of earth. Whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life and Heaven.
