The Gospel Of Repentance

  The Interrogative Sin still romancing your soul Love losing the battle of your flesh? Not sick and tired of being sick and tired? Seduction still sweet like candy How tired are you restless spirit How long will you fight endless love? The Almighty will not wrestle for you forever  You’re one of hell’s most wanted Your burdens too heavy for you to bear Marrow on the bones grow thin                                         I see vitality escaping your eyes Evil has you on life support How tired are you child of the earth Your “joy” is a wicked placebo Turn to the Lord the streets are killing you Forsake your pride and humble your heart

  There are several words for fear in the Bible. One of the words for fear in the Old Testament is Yare. It means to be afraid, to fear, to be in awe of. According to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, the emphasis on Yare is a reverential fear - a person that is in an exalted position so the one revered is given proper respect. One of the Greek words for fear is phobeo. It is where we get the English word phobia. The world does not fear their Creator at all. As a matter of fact, they hate Him. A healthy fear of God means we acknowledge that He is the Almighty. We revere and worship Him. We realize He is the Creator of all things good. We honor His name instead of blaspheming Him. We do not mock or curse Him or His children. Remember, Jesus said that God is His Father. Anyone that attacks the Father’s children attacks the Father Himself - it's personal, very personal.                                                                        Proverbs 1:7 say

  When Jesus arrived in the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the prophets,” they replied. “But what about you?” He asked them. “Who do you say I am?” “You are the Messiah (or Christ), the Son of the Living God,” Simon Peter replied.         - Matthew 16:13-16 When Jesus came on the public scene there was speculation about who He was. Of course, the best way to know something about someone is to simply ask them. There was always confusion and controversy regarding Jesus’ true identity. Jesus did not come into the world through noble birth. He was born to a young peasant girl named Mary – in Bethlehem. Even worse, He was born in a stable with smelly animals. The religious leaders were telling lies regarding Jesus’ birth saying He was born illegitimately – of course not knowing Mary’s conception was by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35; John 8:41).
