Acts 5:11
“And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.”
Great fear came upon the whole church. This great fear followed, great power, and great grace. These three characteristics are all important to God’s church today. We have received a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, our response must be fear and awe. This type of fear produces awe in the follower of Jesus, and dread of terror in the unbeliever. We should not water down the gospel, or make the Word of God weak for the world to digest, but catch the vision of the holiness of God
Great power plus
Great grace plus
Great fear produces
God’s holiness
As a community of apprentices of Jesus, we must catch the vision of God’s holiness and practice individual holiness in our daily lives. Father God, You are Holy Holy Holy. The angels around Your throne know this to be true, compel me to know this more and more today. Allow Your great power, Your great grace and great fear of You produce Your holiness in my life today, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Fear ONLY God
