It is a fear that acknowledges God's holiness, justice, and power, and it serves as a profound motivator for righteous living. The judgments of God, as revealed in Scripture, are a significant aspect of His divine character and serve as a compelling reason for cultivating godly fear.<br><br><b>The Nature of Godly Fear</b><br><br>Godly fear is not a paralyzing terror but a deep reverence for God that influences one's actions and decisions. It is rooted in the recognition of God's sovereignty and His righteous standards. <a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a> states, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" . This fear is the starting point for a life that seeks to honor God in all things.<br><br><b>Judgments of God as a Motive</b><br><br>The judgments of God, both temporal and eternal, are a sobering reminder of His holiness and justice. Throughout Scripture, God's judgments serve as a warning and a call to repentance. They are a demonstration of His righteous character and His intolerance of sin. The fear of these judgments motivates believers to live in accordance with God's will.<br><br><b>Biblical Examples of God's Judgments</b><br><br>1. <b>The Flood</b>: In <a href="/bsb/genesis/6.htm">Genesis 6-9</a>, God judged the world with a flood due to the widespread wickedness of humanity. This cataclysmic event underscores the seriousness with which God views sin and serves as a historical reminder of His power to judge.<br><br>2. <b>Sodom and Gomorrah</b>: The destruction of these cities, as recorded in <a href="/bsb/genesis/19.htm">Genesis 19</a>, highlights God's judgment against immorality and injustice. The fear of such divine retribution encourages believers to pursue righteousness.<br><br>3. <b>The Plagues of Egypt</b>: In <a href="/bsb/exodus/7.htm">Exodus 7-12</a>, God sent plagues upon Egypt to compel Pharaoh to release the Israelites. These judgments revealed God's supremacy over false gods and His commitment to justice, instilling fear and reverence in those who witnessed His power.<br><br>4. <b>The Exile of Israel and Judah</b>: The Assyrian and Babylonian exiles were judgments upon God's people for their persistent idolatry and disobedience. These events, chronicled in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, serve as a warning of the consequences of turning away from God.<br><br><b>Eternal Judgment</b><br><br>The New Testament further emphasizes the reality of eternal judgment. <a href="/hebrews/10-31.htm">Hebrews 10:31</a> warns, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" . The prospect of standing before God's judgment seat, as described in <a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11-15</a>, motivates believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling, knowing that their deeds will be evaluated.<br><br><b>The Role of Godly Fear in the Believer's Life</b><br><br>Godly fear leads to obedience and a desire to align one's life with God's commands. It fosters humility, recognizing human frailty and the need for divine grace. <a href="/philippians/2-12.htm">Philippians 2:12-13</a> encourages believers to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure" . This fear is not about earning salvation but about living in a way that reflects the transformative power of God's grace.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Godly fear, motivated by the judgments of God, is an essential aspect of the Christian life. It drives believers to pursue holiness, seek God's will, and live in a manner that honors Him. Through understanding and embracing this fear, believers are equipped to navigate the challenges of life with wisdom and reverence for their Creator.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/revelation/14-7.htm">Revelation 14:7</a></span><br>Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/baxter/the_reformed_pastor/article_4.htm"><span class="l">Application of these <b>Motives</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> sins of the land, and the <b>judgments</b> that have <b>...</b> and painful under all these <b>motives</b><br> and engagements <b>...</b> serve <b>God</b> acceptably, with reverence, and <b>godly fear</b>; for our <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/baxter/the reformed pastor/article 4.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bunyan/the_works_of_john_bunyan_volumes_1-3/a_treatise_of_the_fear.htm"><span class="l">A Treatise of the <b>Fear</b> of <b>God</b>;</span></a> <br><b>...</b> 4.
