If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer – His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.
— John Newton
Fear of God
But what is this fear of the Lord? It is that affectionate reverence, by which the child of God bends himself humbly and carefully to his Father’s law.
— Charles Bridges
Fear of the Lord
Christian, let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive for you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent. Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that the fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.
— John Bunyan
Fear of God
Surely God will not wink at their sin who wink at his dishonor.
— George Gillespie
Fear of God
We fear men so much because we fear God so little. One fear cures the another. When man’s terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.
— William Gurnall
