The Fear of the Lord


Acts 5:9-11 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband. Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

Acts 12:23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

Acts 13:11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season! Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

1 Corinthians 11:29-31 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy way eats and drinks judgment to himself, if he doesn’t discern the Lord’s body. For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn’t be judged.

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Matthew 10:28 Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
