The Fear of God is the Beginning of Wisdom

If we have no fear of God, we have no love for Him. At the core of loving God is the fear of displeasing Him. Our culture no longer reverences Him nor do they fear what He can do. Notice the BEGINNING of wisdom is the fear of God. Understanding God's power and majesty should make us quake in our boots when we are disobedience.

Proverbs 9:10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

Proverbs 1:7 - The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.


Matthew 10:28 - "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Deuteronomy 6:5 ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."

Matthew 22:36-37 "36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
