Fear of God

September 2, 2009 Adam Leave a comment Go to comments

The words of Donald Miller in his book Searching for God knows What:

Everybody who met God in the bible was afraid of Him. People were even afraid of the angels, so the angels always had to calm people down just to have a conversation. I would think that would be very annoying if you were an angel, always having to settle people down just to talk. It makes you wonder if the first thousand years in heaven will have us running around screaming like we would during an earthquake, the whole time God saying to us in an enormous, booming voice, ‘Calm down, calm down, will you, it’s just Me.’ If you ask me, the way to tell if a person knows God for real, I mean knows the real God, is that they will fear Him.
