Conversations on The Fear of the LORD with Madison & Tanner Klein: Hating Evil and Loving What’s Good - Sharing God’s Heart, Realigned Desires, Holy Confidence, Beauty, & Jesus the Perfect Embodiment

Hey friends - Thanks for joining us in this LIFE ON MISSION with Jesus. I’m Tanner Klein and I’m joined by beautiful, pregnant, and slightly congested wife, Madison Rose.Here’s the link to our last post featured in this episode:What is The Fear of the LORD? Hating Evil and Loving What’s Good: Sharing God’s Heart, Realigned Desires, Holy Confidence, Beauty, & Jesus the Perfect EmbodimentHere’s the introductory post before it:What is the Fear of the LORD?🇫🇷 La traduction française arrive bientôt.Because the fear of the LORD is so multifaceted, we are focusing on one powerful aspect of it at a time.In our first post on this topic, I mentioned that at this point in my journey toward understanding, this is how I would describe the only kind of fear we should have.The fear of the LORD is a set apart, reverent awe of God’s majesty, holiness, justice, and power, combined with a deep love, honor, and submission to Him as Lord and Father.It is not a cringing fear or panic that drives us away from God.It’s a holy fear paired with a humble recognition of who the living God is that draws us nearer to Him in relationship and inspires genuine trust, worship, & faith-filled obedience.If you’re reading this you can see the linked verses attached.The fear of the Lord involves* hating evil (Prov. 8:13),* delighting in God’s commands (Ps. 112:1),* turning from sin (Prov. 16:6), and* wholeheartedly loving God, serving Him, & walking in His ways (Deut. 10:12-13).It produces* wisdom & insight (Prov. 9:10),* life & satisfaction (Prov. 19:23),* strong confidence & security (Prov. 14:26),* humility (Prov. 15:33),* friendship with God (Ps. 25:14), and* ultimately leads to eternal blessing and refuge (Ps. 34:7-10; Prov. 14:27).The fear of the Lord is the proper response to His glory—a trembling joy, a submitted heart, a posture of trust, and a commitment to walk with God & live for His glory and good purposes.All glory and praise to our great God and Creator!
