Do you know God and really fear
Him? People often say that they fear God and do otherwise, sing how much they
fear God and yet their hearts are far from God. What can be the cause of this
attitude of theirs? This post states that fear towards God are not to be by the
precepts of men.
Wherefore the
Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with
their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their
fear toward me is taught by the precept of men - Isaiah 29:13, (KJV)
‘These people draw near to Me with
their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And
in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” - Matthew
15:8-9 (NKJV)
The fear you have towards God should
not be that of lip service, it should be a genuine reverence emanating from the
heart, in awe of Him. It is not the kind of fear that the devil puts on people;
it is the kind that comes from an understanding of who God is, His words, love,
supremacy and power.

are not accepted by God because they are mechanical. They do it as they have
been taught or as they have observed. They serve or worship God because they
are asked to do so. No, it should not be. Read more...
