A Dreadful Fear of God

People fascinate themselves with fear, and these fears often arise from the things they love. According to Scripture, there is a correct way to fear God and an incorrect way. A sinful way of fearing God drives people from Him rather than to Him. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves explains how sinful and wrong understandings of the fear of God arise from people’s misunderstandings of God.
