“Let us hear THE CONCLUSION of the whole matter: FEAR GOD and KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, for this is the WHOLE DUTY OF MAN. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.” (Eccl. 12:13-14)
If we’re going to be anxious about one thing, let’s be anxious TO KEEP God’s commandments. If we’re going to fear something–let’s FEAR GOD for “The 1FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Prov. 9:10) 1yârê’: to be afraid, stand in awe, fear. The Bible speaks of this approximately 330 times.
