We know that a man is saved through faith and that without faith it is impossible to please God. We also know that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and that there is no fear of God before the eyes of the wicked. Much can be said from scripture to define and illustrate saving faith and Godly fear. Yet, definitions and examples only take us so far. True saving faith and true Godly fear must be experienced before it can be understood. That knowledge comes to the heart when God is pleased to reveal Himself in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord enable us to lift up Christ. Only then will we understand by experience our need for childlike, God given faith. Only then will we know something about reverential fear.
