What does it mean to you to be God-fearing?

There are so many ways and Scriptures that talks about God-fearing and what we are to do.  God fearing just means “reverence” to God.  Jesus tells us in Luke 12 to fear him.  We find that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and when we do this, we will hate evil.  What is evil, but works of the flesh and what is against the commands of our Lord, Jesus.  If we fear the LORD, then we will find great delight in his commands.  Oh, so difference from what the churches teaches today.  We need to learn to serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.  We need to let the Holy Spirit lead us in all understanding on the proper way to fear and become a real, God-fearing person.
