Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 28:14.
Without the fear of God, no one can be truly happy.—Testimonies for the Church 4:435.
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him.” Psalm 89:7.
Those who realize the greatness and majesty of God, will take His name on their lips with holy awe. He dwelleth in light unapproachable; no man can see Him and live.—Early Writings, 122.
“Wherefore ... let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Hebrews 12:28.
True reverence for God is inspired by a sense of His infinite greatness and a realization of His presence. With this sense of the Unseen, every heart should be deeply impressed.... “Holy and reverend is His name,” the psalmist declares. Angels, when they speak that name, veil their faces. With what reverence, then, should we, who are fallen and sinful, take it upon our lips!—Gospel Workers, 178.
