The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Everything

The fear of the Lord is one of the most prominent and most neglected themes in all of Scripture. Although it is the foundation of all wisdom and knowledge, the “whole duty of man,” and closely linked with the “eternal gospel,” few Christians today have even a basic understanding of this key biblical concept and preachers often simply boil it down to having proper reverence for God. The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Everything carefully explains what the fear of the Lord is and why it is so important for our everyday lives. Readers will discover that while the fear of the Lord is a sobering concept, it is also a sure path to the abundant life that Jesus spoke of; it is the beginning of everything that is good in the Christian life. Ultimately, The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Everything will help readers to grasp a foundational feature of discipleship that will fuel a vibrant relationship with God and better equip them to bear fruit for his glory.
