Luke 10:27-28.
Lest we should think that living in the fear of God is a miserable existence, the truth is that a wealth of blessings flow to those who live in the fear of God. Here are some of them. First there is happiness. Proverbs 28:14 tells us “Happy is the man who always fears God”. Then there is the rich promise of life, satisfaction and security. Proverbs 19:23 reads “The fear of the Lord tends to life and he that has it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.To “fear” with regard to God means to reverence, to respect, to regard with awe and affection, to hold in such loving esteem as to be afraid of offending or grieving the one so admired.
