9/6 2 Corinthians 5:11
11 It is because we know this solemn fear of the Lord that we work so hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too.
FEAR
We are told that when the Bible says fear that it means reverence or awe. It does mean that but it also means to fear. We are not like God. We are wedded to sinfulness because we are human. We are dependent upon Jesus for everything in the spiritual realm. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
