"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," and "a fountain of life"—the foundation on which all wisdom rests, as well as the source from whence it emanates. Upon a principle so vastly important, all the subtle malignity of Satan has been directed, if possible to mislead the very elect; while the ungodly and impenitent fall under his devices. To the mind enlightened by Divine truth, the difference between a filial fear of offending God and the dread of punishment is very plain. Still, by the devil's sophistry, some of the most pious Christians have been puzzled and bewildered.

  • Concept of God in Islam12p.Indd
    Answers to common questions on Islam The Concept of GOD in Islam Answers to common questions on Islam The first part of the Muslim confession of faith (the shahada) is the basis for the concept of God in Islam. The Muslim bears witness that: “There is no god but God”, or “no divinity, but the (one) Divinity”. The revealed Scripture of Islam, the Qur’an, is like a vast commentary on this simple statement, drawing from it all its implications for human life and thought. This conception of the Deity is strictly monotheistic and Unitarian. God alone has absolute being, totally independent and totally self-sufficient. Whatever exists or ever could exist does so by His will. He has no “partner” either in creating the universe or in maintaining it in existence. He is not only the “First Cause” but also ultimately, the only cause, and He is Himself uncaused. The Qur’an tells us: “Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.” (Al¬Qur’an 112:14-) It tells us also that: “When He wills a thing to be, He but says unto it - Be!; and it is.” (Al-Qur’an 16:40) A further implication of the first part of the shahada is that there can be no power, force or agency in the heavens or on earth which is independent of God. Everything that exists - and everything that happens - is subject to His control; there is nothing that can compete with Him or that escapes His grasp, nothing that does not bear witness to His creative power and majesty.

  • Babel and Bible. Third and Last Lecture
    BABEL AND BIBLE. THIRD AND LAST LECTURE/ BY FRIEDRICH DELITZSCH. EVERY man who faces the facts with an unprejudiced mind will admit that the meaning of the idea of "sin," or, in other words, the sum of all that man is in duty bound before God and man to do or to avoid, is entirely the same in Babel as in the Old Testament. And the same agreement may be noted with reference to the coii- scqucnces of sin. No sin is hidden from the divine eye. none remains unpunished. The consequence of sin is the wrath of God which acts upon the sinner like a spell and works itself out in punishment of sickness and misery, poverty and persecution, destruction and death.^- The idea common to both Old and New Testaments that sickness and want are the wages of sin is exactly the Babylonian view, and, I might add, it is fortunate that this is the case. For it justifies us to a greater degree in investigating the problem as to whether or not the relation of cause and effect between sickness and sin may still be accepted in the light of later knowledge. With penitent confession and tearful prayers the devout Baby- lonian seeks to appease God's wrath and to propitiate the heart of God, while he clings firmly to his confidence in God's fatherly compassion. All the Old Testament prayers from the depths of wretchedness and sin, as Ps. vi. i, "O Yahveh, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure ;" the cry, "O Lord, how long?" all the expressions of longing for freedom from the bondage of sin, and at the same time for an end to illness, misery and persecution, as well as for the bless' ig of length of * Translated from the German by Lydia Gillingham Robinson.

The real problem with the church is that they DO NOT FEAR GOD. The fear of the Lord is reverence. It is not just coming before the Lord and being quiet and being timid, but it is knowing that God is a terrible God, though He is a loving God. THE REVERENCE WE SHOULD HAVE FOR HIM IS A REVERENCE THAT WE WOULD RATHER PLEASE GOD AT ANY COST THAN TO PLEASE MEN. We are entering into a time when everyone of us can be used mightily by God, but we need to move in the fear of God; not in the way that we think that it ought to be, but in the way that fear really operates. Not the fear of men, not the spirit of fear, but the reverence of the living God. You will know when you have come into the fear of God.

  • The Dynamics of Having a Fear of God in the Walk of the Believer
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THE DYNAMICS OF HAVING A FEAR OF GOD IN THE WALK OF THE BELIEVER A Thesis Project Submitted to Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MINISTRY By Leon Davis Lynchburg, Virginia May 7, 2014 Copyright © 2014 by Leon Davis All rights reserved LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET __________________________________ GRADE __________________________________ MENTOR Dr. Charlie Davidson Director, Doctor of Ministry Program Associate Professor of Chaplaincy _________________________________ READER Dr. David W. Hirschman Acting Dean Assistant Professor of Religion ABSTRACT THE DYNAMICS OF HAVING A FEAR OF GOD IN THE WALK OF THE BELIEVER Leon Davis Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary, 2014 Mentor: Dr. Charlie Davidson Guaranteed immunity from Hell appears to have adversely affected the motivation of the believer. A possible correlation exists between the believer’s knowledge of having eternal security and a lack of having a fear of God. This lack of godly fear has manifested itself in various types of presumptive behavior, among which includes non-compliance to clearly stated biblical commandments and directives, the removal of the repentance requirement for the convert, and biblical illiteracy. Consulting commentary of Early Church Fathers, theologians throughout the New Testament church age, along with current research data, and completed surveys from believers, this project will probe the validity of this correlation. The presentation of corroborative findings which will be presented throughout this project will clearly indicate that the church is on a slippery slope of hyper-grace, and only the re-introduction of the concept of having a fear of God will place her back on solid ground.

  • The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism) Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips
    The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism) Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips The Muslim scholar Abu Ameenah Philips has kindly agreed to let MSA-USC display three chapters (1, 2, and 10) from his book "The Fundamentals of Tawheed (Islamic Monotheism)". This book is highly recommended reading for those who would like to learn about the basis of Islam: there is no being worthy of worship except Allah (God), and Allah is Absolutely One and Absolutely Unique. We note also that a Muslim is further obligated to accept the Prophet Muhammad (saws) as Allah's final prophet to humanity. 1. CHAPTER ON THE CATEGORIES OF TAWHEED Literally Tawheed means "unification" (making something one) or "asserting oneness", and it comes from the Arabic verb (wahhada) which itself means to unite, unify or consolidate.1 However, when the term Tawheed is used in reference to Allaah (i.e. Tawheedullaah2), it means the realizing and maintaining of Allaah's unity in all of man's actions which directly or indirectly relate to Him. It is the belief that Allaah is One, without partner in His dominion and His actions (Ruboobeeyah), One without similitude in His essence and attributes (Asmaa wa Sifaat), and One without rival in His divinity and in worship (Ulooheeyah/'Ebaadah). These three aspects form the basis for the categories into which the science of Tawheed has been traditionally divided. The three overlap and are inseparable to such a degree that whoever omits any one aspect has failed to complete the requirements of Tawheed. The omission of any of the above mentioned aspects of Tawheed is referred to as "Shirk" (lit.

  • Proverbs on the Fear of God
    Proverbs on the Fear of God (Isaiah 11:1–5) "1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. 2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. 3 And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide disputes by what his ears hear, 4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his loins." This text predicts what will happen when the Holy Spirit “rests” upon Jesus, the Messiah. It mentions the fear of God twice. In fact, Proverbs mentions the fear of God over 20 times. In total the Bible mentions the fear of God over 100 times. The point of Isaiah’s prophecy is that Jesus is the summation—or personification—of the Proverbs Man. Because the Holy Spirit rested on Jesus he exuded six fruits—wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of God. Then the prophet adds a seventh. Jesus didn’t just possess the fear of God. He actually delighted in the Fear of God. If Jesus, the perfect man, delighted in the fear of God, so should we.
