Fear of God
Proverbs 1 vs 7
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
- Why does the Bible say that the fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom?
- It doesn’t mean if you fear God your intelligence will increase.
- It means if you fear God, you will not indulge in somethings that looks wise but foolish at the end.
- For instance, God said that beer is a mocker. It does not mean if you don’t drink beer, you will become a wise man. But it means if you do not fear God and obey that simple commandment, drunkenness will portray you as a foolish man.
- In summary, God has given us some instructions and directives, and obedience to these instructions and directives means we fear God because anybody you fear, you will obey his instructions and directives.
- If we choose to disobey divine instructions, somethings will happen to us that will turn us to fool in the eyes of the world.
