When we speak of godly fear, of course, we do not mean a servile fear, such as prevails among the heathen in connection with their gods. No! We mean that spirit which Jehovah is pledged to bless, that spirit to which the prophet referred when he said, "To this man will I look even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My Word." (Isaiah 66:2)
Nothing will foster this godly fear, like a recognition of the sovereign majesty of God!

Hebrews 10:31 ... It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Luke 12:4-5 ... And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. ❤
