Love or Fear?
When it comes to the Holy Bible, deciding how to feel about God can be quite confusing at times.
Consider these verses, taken from the King James Version:
1John 4:8 KJV
He who loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John 4:18 KJV
There is no fear in love; for perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torement. He that feareth is not made in perfect love.
Psalms 111:10 KJV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Proverbs 14:27 KJV
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life to depart from the snares of death.
Ecclessiasties 12:13 KJV
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep his commandments: this is the whole duty of man.
