Godly fear isn't oppressive—it liberates. Conviction is not condemnation—it’s the gentle yet firm grip of Holy Spirit pulling us toward holiness, drawing us nearer and near to Jesus. When that type of reverent fear is present, we walk differently. We speak carefully. We treat others with honor because we recognize that we are representatives of the holy God with a fear of the Lord that frees us from the fear of man, the need for approval, and the seduction of sin. Beholding Jesus with Reverence anchors us in the truth of Christ when the world is shifting, and praying with the Holy Spirit gives us eyes to discern and the strength to stand firm when compromise tempts us.
