Would I be a better follower if I was afraid of God?
I was thinking about how thankful I was for Jesus and how because of Him I am able envision a loving God. Back in Old Testament times, I don’t get the same picture. There are a lot of people who fear God and talk about His anger.
But, then I started to wonder, “Would it be better for the kingdom if I did have more fear?” It’s the same God. There is still that anger, still that ability to punish and still the power to do so.
Honestly, as I typed that I was reminded of the time I’ve spent doing things out of fear (a long time!) and I may have been more “productive” but I seem to be more connected now.
I really don’t know.
