Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: What It Means To Fear God And Worship Him Date: 03/27/2022 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The central message is that true closeness to God is proven by understanding and proclaiming the 'secrets' or mysteries of God, which are revealed to those who fear Him. The speaker emphasizes that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and points to Jesus's prayer for deliverance from spiritual death, rather than physical death, as proof of this. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit is presented as the necessary helper given to believers primarily to help them overcome sin.

The secrets of the Lord are for those who fear HimGod shares His deepest spiritual secrets only with those who are truly close to Him, and the primary proof of that closeness is the fear of God.Psalm 25:14

How temptation leads to sin and spiritual deathTemptation begins when we are enticed by the lusts of our own flesh; yielding to that enticement results in conception, sin, and ultimately spiritual death.James 1:14

Jesus lived as a man and relied on the Holy Spirit to not sinJesus faced real temptation as a man and depended entirely on God through prayer, demonstrating that the Holy Spirit is given primarily to help us overcome sin.

Where worship and the fear of God first appear in ScriptureThe very first time worship and the fear of God are mentioned in the Bible is when Abraham offered his son Isaac on Mount Moriah.

The man who fears God does not lean on his own reasonAbraham obeyed God's difficult and seemingly unreasonable commands without arguing or relying on his own cleverness.

Building the church on the principle of sacrificeGod established His temple on Mount Moriah where Abraham and David refused to offer to God that which cost them nothing.

Raising children of trust and obedienceAbraham raised a son who trusted him completely, showing the kind of obedient next generation we need to raise for God.

Being flexible when God changes directionA person who fears God must be willing to change course immediately if God alters His instructions, as demonstrated in Abraham's stop at the altar and personal experiences later in life.

God' supreme desire for men and women who fear HimGod values a life that fears Him and turns from evil above all else, which is why the book of Job was written first to highlight a man who lived out the fear of God.
