Why Fear the LORD - 51 Reasons - Part 3
by Tonja Taylor
5/10/2020 / Salvation
John 8:12, (AMPC), states: [ Jesus, the Light of the World ] Then Jesus said, “I am light to the world and those who embrace me will experience life-giving light, and they will never walk in darkness.”
When we are in the dark, we can't see correctly. But when the light is turned on, we can see clearly!
In this dark world, we must have the Light of Christ to turn help us see properly!
We fear (revere, honor, respect, obey) the LORD because He is Light.
Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. The LORD Jesus Christ is worthy of us fearing (revering, respecting, honoring, obeying) Him at all times. He is so good! And He is Light--Revelation, Truth, to help us navigate this life on earth and be victorious!
"In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was present originally with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. 4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. 5 And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]."--- John 1:1-5, AMPC
Jesus the LORD is pure Light (Revelation; Wisdom; Understanding), and He is returning very soon--our coming King (Phil. 4:5, Rev. 22:12)! Then we who have received Him as Savior and LORD (John 3:15-17) will be taken by Him back to Heaven to live forever in His glorious Light! There will be no sun or other natural light, for He will be the Light that illumines our lives forever!
There is a lot of deception in the world, but Jesus is the True Light, the Covenant God (Isaiah 54:10, Hebrews 10:16-17), who never changes and is all good, pure Light, with no darkness or change!
He continuously works in our lives to help us see better; to see the Light of His Love toward us!
"…8 They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights. 9 For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. 10 Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.… Psalm 36:8-10, Bearean Study Bible
Jesus Christ provides for us, through His blood shed on the cross, to have pure true Light--Revelation, Truth--by the New Covenant, the Eternal Agreement, as Hebrews 8:10-13 (AMPC) states:
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will imprint My laws upon their minds, even upon their innermost thoughts and understanding, and engrave them upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
11 And it will nevermore be necessary for each one to teach his neighbor and his fellow citizen or each one his brother, saying, Know (perceive, have knowledge of, and get acquainted by experience with) the Lord, for all will know Me, from the smallest to the greatest of them.
12 For I will be merciful and gracious toward their sins and I will remember their deeds of unrighteousness no more.
13 When God speaks of a new [covenant or agreement], He makes the first one obsolete (out of use). And what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether.
If you are living in the dark, you must have the true Light that only comes through believing in the LORD Jesus Christ and receiving Him as Savior and LORD! If you want to receive Him right now, please say this prayer out loud.
He is a merciful and gracious, faithful Savior, Who created and loves all people, forever. He will hear you, and give you a new life!
If you have not been born again and want to receive Christ Jesus as your Savior, LORD, and Best Friend forever (He will never leave you nor forsake you! Hebrews 13:5), please say this prayer out loud:
Dear Jesus, I acknowledge and say that You alone are LORD and God. I thank You for dying for me on the cross by shedding all of Your blood to pay the terrible debt of all my sins. I ask You to please forgive me and come into my heart and be my Savior and LORD and Best Friend Forever.
I renounce satan and all of his works in my life, forever.
I receive You and ask You to help me know You and walk in Your ways. I thank You that in this new life in which I follow You, I will go to be with You in Heaven when this body dies. Thank You so much! In Your Name, amen!
Now, if you just said that prayer and meant it, you are truly born again! God is now your loving Father (I John 3:1), Jesus is your Brother Who and Good Shepherd who will always be with you and will lead you in right paths, and the angels are having a party to celebrate your most excellent decision (Luke 15:7)!
Your spirit has been translated from the temporary kingdom of darkness into the eternal Kingdom of Light of God's dear Son, King Jesus (Colossians 1;13,14)!
It is a rebirthing of your spirit!
Ask the LORD to show you the right church body for you to become part of, and for the right Bible to study. Remember there are multiple versions and languages online to use! He will help you.
He will help you--for His Spirit is the Helper Who is with you now, forever!
