Holy fear is the kind of fear inspired by love. A fear based on respect for someone we love. When we genuinely love another person we will live inside a healthy anxiety, a worry that our actions should never disappoint, disrespect or violate the other person. We live in Holy fear when we are not anxious to betray, or disrespect someone. This differs from being afraid of something though. God does not intimidate you.God revealed Hell to us for a purpose. That purpose is to warn us about how awful it will be there (scare us) so that we would want to avoid it. God then leads us to the solution (Jesus) so we can avoid going there (hell).Hell is a scary place. I believe it is alright to scare people about things that are truly scary. A father and mother must warn their children about sex, drugs, crime, about being dishonest, and they should warn them about hell also. If telling them the truth about those things scares them away from them and steers them toward God then scaring them would be a good thing.

My name is Steve until the Lord takes me home and gives me a new name. I am a believer in, and a lover of, Jesus Christ. Although I am human and I fail Him every day, I believe that Jesus is the Son of God; He was born of a virgin, was crucified on a cross, died for our sins, and rose again on the third day to give us salvation! He loves me dearly (far more than I deserve) and forgives my sins. His Word (The Holy Bible) says if we deny Him before men He will deny us before His Father in Heaven. View all posts by steve byrd
