What does it really mean to fear God? Is it about being terrified of Him, or is there something deeper?In today's episode of the Closedin Podcast, we conclude our study of Ecclesiastes by exploring Ecclesiastes 12:13–14, where King Solomon gives his final conclusion after reflecting on life: "Fear God and obey His commands."We'll discover that fearing God isn't living in terror of punishment. It's loving Him, honouring Him, respecting Him, taking Him seriously, and allowing that reverence to shape the way we live every day.We'll answer questions like:What does it mean to fear God?Why does the Bible tell us to fear God?How does the fear of God affect everyday decisions?How do I know if I'm trying to find loopholes instead of pleasing God?What does Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 teach us?Through practical examples, from relationships and gossip to entertainment and honesty at work, we'll see how the fear of God changes the question from "How far can I go?" to "Would this honour God?"🎧 Join me as we spend a few minutes together in God's Word: one passage, one message, one prayer.
