Godly Fear And Human Fear
Psalms 103:11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His
love for those who fear Him;(NIV)
Godly fear is an awe, a profound reverence, a silent, overwhelming, presence in your
heart. Godly fear is a respect, wonder, and solemn, admiration for all that you know God
to be. Godly fear or fear of God is an amazement, marvel, and stunned shock at the love
that is God. Human fear is a painful emotion marked by dread, alarm, disquiet, and
anxiety. Human fear is our response to danger. Panic is human fear piled on top of human
fear.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love (NIV).
Godly fear or perfect love drives out human fear, because human fear has to do with
punishment. The one who feels human fear is not made perfect in love.
