FEAR HIM / LUKE 12:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 12:5

 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

FEAR HIM / LUKE 12:5

  1. Jesus’ followers must remain in awe and total reverence of God’s majesty, holiness (purity, perfection, completeness of character and separation from evil) and His justified anger and judgment against sin (Isaiah 6:1-5). Such an attitude will help us understand and relate to God’s character, and it will keep us from standing in rebellion against Him and bringing disaster on ourselves.
  2. Some Christians may want to believe that the “fear of God” simply means to have awe and respect for God. But that is not the case here. While it is true that Christians do not have to live in dreaded fear (particularly of God’s judgment on unforgiven sin, 1 John 4:16-18) and can be secure in God’s love, this passage warns us to walk holy and with the right perspective of “Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell.” Though this reference points to final judgment, recognizing that possibility should certainly keep us from walking in rebellion and missing out on the life God has for us. 
  3. For Christians, living with a proper perspective of a holy God should bring comfort and cause us to rejoice in His love, care and power to guide, protect and provide for us. Notice how Jesus now goes on to describe how He will provide for us, telling us, “Don’t be afraid” (Luke 12:7).
