Psalm 100
1.Lift up a great shout of joy to the lord!
Go ahead and do it, everyone, everywhere! 2. As you serve him, be glad and worship him.
Sing your way into his presence with joy! 3. And realize what this really means-we have the
the privilege of worshiping the Lord our God. For he is our Creator and we belong to him. We are the people of his pleasure. 4. You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise. Come right into his presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to him. And affectionately bless his beautiful name! 5. For the Lord is always good and ready to receive you. He’s so loving that it will amaze you-so kind that it will astound you! And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all. Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for he keeps his promises to every generation!
WHY FEAR THE LORD
The reasons for fearing God are·found in the different meaning of the “fear of the Lord” as I have just
described. A1though there are different types of fear,
part of our respect and awe is in the knowledge of his wrath and power. It’s al1 connected.
How will fearing God affect our lives? The fear of the
Lord is far more than Bib-Ucal teaching, principle, or idea. It is ref·evant to our daily lives in many ways.

What does it mean to fear the Lord?
1. God is loving & just: We must recognize that God is loving,
merciful and forgiving; but He also is holy, just and
righteous. Knowing God and understanding His character.
READ Pr 2:1-5 Passion. So in this sense, fearing the Lord is
to appreciate His character .So I see this as a personal
awareness of the awesome and majestic sovere·ignty of
God.
2. Fear of the lord can produce awe:
Fearing the Lord means to be in reverent AWE of His
holiness(the meaning of AWE= amazement, astonishment, or
wonder and also being dumbfounded this word only appears 3
times in the NT Luke 4:31-35 Luke 5:1-11 and Acts 3: 9-10
3. The Fear of the Lord can produce faith: True fear of the
Lord causes be.lievers to place their ta·ith and trust ·in Him
alone for salvation. (Ps 115:11) Lk 1:50 Ps 103:11; 130:4,
and spiritual salvation (Ps 85:9}
Here fearing God means to be moved to belief and trust.
4. God IS ANGRY ABOUT SIN:
This type of fear is to be afraid, especially if you are caught on
the wrong side of God’s justice. (Ps 76:7-8) Ge 3:8-10, Dt 9:19,
Heb 10:31
