"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.... They hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord.... But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from the fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:7,27-33). "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment.... There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:17,18).
The fear of the Lord is where we begin
To find out the knowledge that God will impart.
It's where we discover the nature of sin
And how to be cleansed from that sin in our heart.
The fear of the Lord is a choice we must make
If we would dwell safely by God's own protection,
Quiet from fear of the evil mistake
That leads us astray from the Savior's correction.
The fear of the Lord is perfected by love,
Casting out fear, for there's no condemnation!
We're living below with affections above,
Grateful each day for eternal salvation.
