Jesus Teaches

The Fear Of God

 

By

The Twelve Apostles

 

 

Why humanity shoaled Fear God

 “Behold, these men may kill the body of this flesh. But what of that?

The flesh is but a transitory thing, and soon, by natural law, will pass. Their slaughter only hastens nature's work a little time. And when they kill the flesh they reach their bounds of power. They cannot kill the soul. But nature is the keeper of the soul as of the flesh, and in the harvest time of soul, the trees of life are all inspected by the judge.

“And every tree that bears no fruit of good is plucked up by the roots and cast into the flames. Who then shall you regard?

Not him who has the power to kill the flesh, and nothing more. Regard the mighty one who has the power to dissolve both soul and body in the flames of nature's fire.”

 

"And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear God who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

 


God Cares For All

“But man is king. He may direct his thoughts, his loves, his life, and gain the prize of everlasting life. And you are not abandoned in your struggle for the crown of life. Your Father lives, and you shall live. God has a care for every living thing. He numbers stars, and suns, and moons. He numbers Angels, men and everything below: the birds, the flowers, the trees. The very petals of the rose He knows by name, and everyone is numbered in His Book of Life. And every hair upon your head, and every drop of blood within your veins, He knows by number and by rhythm. He hears the birdling's call, the cricket's chirp, the glow worm's song.

 

“And not a sparrow falls to earth without his knowledge and consent. A sparrow seems a thing of little worth. Yes, five of them are worth two farthings in the market place, and yet God cares for every one of them.
Will He not care much more for you who bear His image in your soul?

"Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

 

You Must Not Deny The Christ

“Fear not to make confession of the Christ before the sons of men, and God will own you as His sons and daughters in the presence of the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven. If you deny the Christ before the sons of men, then God will not receive you as His own before the Hosts of Heaven.

“And more I say, Fear not when men shall bring you up before the rulers of the land to answer for your faith. Behold, the Holy Spirit shall teach you in your hour of need what you should say, and what is best leave unsaid.” And then the Christians went again to teach the multitudes.
