9 - What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord?
3m 28s
In this episode, Dr. Stanley unpacks the biblical meaning of “fearing the Lord,” distinguishing between fear that stems from dread and the holy reverence God desires. Drawing from passages like Psalm 111 and Matthew 10, he shows that fearing God isn’t about being afraid of punishment—it’s about honoring Him as our sovereign, powerful, and loving Lord. When we revere God rightly, we are moved to obey, trust, and serve Him—not out of fear, but out of deep respect and awe. This kind of fear draws us closer to God and quiets the lesser fears of life.
