A Nonchurchgoer's Guide to Jesus and His Kingdom

What’s Missing from Most People’s Lives

Posted in Repentance to Righteousness by Mike Gantt on January 25, 2012

What is missing from most people’s lives is what the Bible calls “the fear of the Lord.”

The meaning of “fear” in this context is reverence, awe, and wonder.  To fear God is to live as if He is your Creator.  Don’t superficially pass over these words.  Ponder them deeply.  If God is your Creator then He has more to do with how your day – and life – is going to go than any other being does.  Why then are we more in awe of other people than we are of Him?

If you fear the Lord, you live in an entirely different way than if you don’t.  It’s noticeable – especially by you!

(By the way, consider how many professing Christians are practicing atheists.  Don’t be one of them.  Instead, practice the presence of Christ.)

Bible notes on this post.

The purpose of this blog is to proclaim Jesus Christ to those who want to hear about Him without having to join a church – or anything else – but Him.
