The Important Stuff
Fear… We often think of fear as a thing most undesirable, but I wonder, what would the world be like if men had a little more of it. Surely I will be misunderstood in all this, thus I shall be brief and will pray that my words have clarity. God is no terrorist, no bully, and nor is He without compassion. However, His Compassion does not supercede His wrath, nor does His love negate our condition. Realise that Christ was sent as a token of that Love, but only through God’s grace given for our faith are we yet saved. Thusly, we are saved because of our dependance on that love through belief and repentance towards holiness. God’s wrath is no thing to be trifled with, instead let us approach His presence with Humility of his glory, and terror of that wrath, but boldness in the holiness of His son. We should have no confidence in our merits but rather His mercy.
