About This Quote

The fear of God is real. It is not something that can be faked or wished away. If you are afraid of God, it means the Lord has given you a warning. He has told you to be watchful and to pay close attention to your actions.

If you don’t listen to the Lord, then you are in danger of losing your soul. The denial of God is foolish because it is the act of denying the existence of God. Denying God means saying that there is no one who can save us when there is.

It means saying that when we get into a tight spot, we deserve it and there is nothing we can do about it. There is a word for this type of attitude: blasphemy.
