Looking at fear in the Bible, it seems there are two big categories that stand out to me.
Lots of passages about fearing God.
And lots of passages on not fearing.
So fear is obviously very powerful.
But the object of our fear seems to be the key.
What or whom do we fear?
So maybe the two fear words don't have to be so different. Maybe the difference is what the fear does to us. When we think "fear God," we often automatically think scared because that is what we know of fear. But maybe in letting God be the one we fear, fear itself takes on a whole new definition.
Does that make ANY sense?
