If you study the Bible, there is no mistaking the repeated commands to fear God. Wise King Solomon put it this way in explaining his reason for writing the book of Proverbs: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). Why? Consider these words of the psalmist: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good underst...

At the end of Abraham’s greatest test, after he showed his willingness to give up his promised son, believing that God could resurrect Isaac, God told Abraham: “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear G...
