Grace – The founding principle of Godly fear

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

January 22, 2018

Last week we established that Godly fear has nothing to do with the human or religious idea of it. (See Grace – the gospel of awe and astonishment)

Godly fear, in its truest sense, is a state of awe and astonishment at God’s goodness discovered and experienced in the Person and finished work of JESUS.

This message is a deeper exploration of “Yir’ah,” which is the Hebrew word for “fear.”

The fear (Yir’ah) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10 (ESV)

We discover that grace is the founding principle.

As a reference you will need these two Hebrew words:

We pray this message blesses you.

References: Mark 5:25-34, Prov. 9:10, 2 Kings 6:17-20, 1 Cor. 1:18 & 30, 1 Cor. 2:2, Rpm. 6:14, 1 Cor. 15:56, Gal. 5:1-7
