The fear of God is a sin killer

 "I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. " (Jeremiah 32:40)

The fear of God is a powerful sin killer. Loss of the fear of God will cause eternal loss. Therefore, under no circumstances should it be lost. The fear of God is a gift; the Author of this fear is the Lord Himself. He puts His fear in our hearts. If we have the fear of God, we can be sure that the Lord Himself has placed it in our hearts.

When there is fear of God, there is reverence for His Word, there is obedience, there is extreme caution lest we sin, there is longing for His presence, and a fear of losing it.

This powerful sin killer is a very reliable means of sanctification. He who keeps God's Word in his heart keeps the fear of God in his heart and in his life.
