The Fear of God - Part 4

Oct 26, 2025    Vincent Townsend

What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. This powerful message challenges us to examine our understanding of who God truly is, because an inaccurate view of God will twist and deform our souls, affecting how we live our entire lives. We're invited to explore three fundamental aspects of God's nature that should shape our fear of Him. First, God's holiness—not just moral excellence, but the entirety of divine perfection at the very core of His being. When the prophet Isaiah encountered God's holiness in Isaiah 6, even though he was considered the most righteous man in the nation, he cried out 'Woe to me! I am undone!' His self-esteem was shattered in an instant. This is what happens when we truly encounter God's holiness—we see ourselves as we really are. Second, God's faithfulness—He will always do what He says He will do because His word is good. Every promise He makes, He fulfills. We rest our entire eternal existence on one simple promise from God, yet we struggle to trust Him with our daily lives. Finally, God is eternal life itself. Through believing in Jesus, we receive not just forgiveness but the incredible gift of eternal life. This isn't about being a 'bunch of hopers' wishing on stars—our hope is grounded in a faithful God who has never failed and never will. Understanding these attributes transforms how we live, worship, and walk with Him.
