The fear of God transcends this life in such a way that all creation will fear God forever. The fear of the Lord will be experienced as an eternal reality. The filial fear of believers and the sinful fear of unbelievers will be magnified throughout eternity. In this lesson, Dr. Reeves wraps up the series on the fear of God by explaining how the fears that we experience in this life function as firstfruits of the fears to come in eternity.
