Single Session Bible Study

Overview

It is unfashionable to fear God in a literal sense. Love is in; fear is out. Yet this article claims that "those who have never trembled from head to toe will never know God's perfect love." What is the fear of the Lord? Are we missing something without it? What does it have to do with God's love or our spirituality?
