- We all know the Bible says to "fear God", but what does that really mean?
Some people say it simply means to show God reverence or respect but is that really what the Bible is talking about?
We want to challenge you to dig deeper into God's Word, and help you to remove your lens of interpretation, so you can let the Bible interpret itself. We are a Christian ministry that believes and teaches the whole Bible. We want to be like the noble Bereans who studied the Scriptures daily to know the truth.
Our Vision is that people will learn to let the Bible interpret itself.
Our Mission is to cause people to dig deeper into the truth of God’s Word.
We Value the Truth of God as it is revealed through the Holy Scriptures.

Every day I think to myself standing be for God with him saying "well done my Faithful servent". Or he will say "depart from me. I never knew you." It terrifies me. Its going to be one or the other.
“It is rebellion not to fear God”. That’s a banger right there
You really think an all loving god who desires a relationship with his own people would want fear from them?
Sounds insulting if you ask me.

I think the point of fearing God is due to his holiness. Sin has to be punished and we can't take that lightly. God is not a big teddy bear. The basics of the gospel is that we absolutely deserve to be condemned and punished for our sin, but that God himself provided a sacrifice that could redeem us from our fallen place. His nature and power make him terrifying and it's because of that terror that his mercy is so precious.
Romans 11 says that God is both kind and severe. Verse 22 says "So take a good look at God's kindness AND severity; on the one hand, severity towards those who fell off; but kindness towards you - provided you maintain yourself in that kindness! Otherwise, you too will be cut off (cut off of the Covenant, accursed)!"
@@danielbu2611 So your god started off all humans as cursed by default but then sacrificed his own son in order to exploit his own loophole is what you’re saying.
That’s basically like throwing a bunch of people overboard a ship and then holding up a life jacket and claiming “if you believe in unicorns, I’ll throw you a life vest after I sacrifice my son”.
No good god worthy of worship would threaten his own creation while hiding from them.

Not a single thing you just said was true or even what the Bible says about it.
I thought I was responding to someone who already took the Bible to be true.
I'll grant that I don't totally understand it myself, but I would be happy to toss these ideas around with you if you want. But I'd like to understand your motives a bit first.
What brings you into this comment section? Are you searching for something?
@@danielbu2611 I’m here because I want to accept as many true things as possible and reject as many false ideas as possible. And I take it you would agree with that concept?
I’ve read the bible, the fall of man and the idea that everyone is born as a reprobates before we have even taken our first first and deemed guilty of committing a finite crime that we’ve never never done.
That’s bad enough on its own, but now you assert that this loving god will excuse all of that by sacrificing himself to himself on a cross and you also must accept this outrageous claim or else suffer a fate worse than death.
How can you possibly justify and defend such an idea?
Very nice presentation, Sir Lex. I sure used to believe that the fear of God is only about respect and reverence and only the unbelievers are ought to be afraid and dread before Him. Man, how foolish that was. But after all this, I realized that there's no exemption to how the Bible teaches how to fear God. In fact as believers we should fear God more than anybody else. Blessings to you, Sir!
That roaring lion was put there perfectly. I was driving and it literally shot up adrenaline in my system. Made me remember how I should fear God in the least.
amen
the devil is described as a roaring lion.
Lol it got me too
Ahmein but I had in earbuds and it startled me 😆 🤣
that lion got me saved all over again! THANK YOU JESUS FOR THE REMINDER.
Fear of YAH and fear not of evil is true wisdom
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
But Fools despise knowledge.
I was living in fornication and sin in my life, once I started to study The Word and get closer to God, I started to fear God and His Judgements. Personally I learnt the more you fear God the more you will want to keep His commands and stay away from sin. This is never taught in most modern day churches. Thank God I broke away from my old church that preached the prosperity gospel.
Lol!!! The lion roar 🤣 I love the organization and the path that God is bringing you with your channel!!
Thank you Lex this was a huge help, I've realized that I've been fearing the wrong one and I thought I had no fear of the enemy but I now see that I have to work things out with God
I just finished reading the whole king james bible from genesis to revalation yes i fear God but Love him with all my heart.
Yesterday I read day 38 or 39 in your 'Victory"men's discipleship book
Talking about the right type of fear to have for God that draws you closer.
I tell many of my friends to fear God..once they know and fear him..they will make more better life choices
Amen
God alone ✝️🔑💖🤔
We as believers will stand before Christ at His judgement and it isnt all peaches and cream but will determine who is worthy of the kingdom or be cast out for a thousand years in outer darkness. It IS about rewards both positive and negative.
The only escape from fear is stepping back and feeling the assurance the father gives us
✝Amen!
All praise, honour and glory belongs to Yeshua, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
I have not watched all of your videos but those that I have watched, I agree with all of them with the exception of the video regarding the Trinity. Job 28:28 (KJV) And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. May God Bless This Message. Thank you.
Your channel is such a blessing.
Thank you
I wished there were german subtitles available for my husband who just found his way to Yahusha.
Yeshua*
When you meet the CREATOR.... you will immediately understand what every knee will bow is about.... for sure... I'm afraid of GOD. WHY.... BECAUSE IM SANE.
This was a masterpiece teaching 🎓💡👍.
Thank you. I hope it is helpful.
When I hear true undiluted word of God, is like milk and honey with so much revelations, inspirational, exposes our unworthiness and without doubt challenges us to think seriously about our eternity! I'm touched and blessed by this video. Thank God for men and teachers like you.
And, shame on the false prosperity teachers. For the damage they have and is still causing to the ignorant people out there.
Thank God they are still man of God who tells the true gospel. Thank you
I don't fear God. But I need to. Whoever sees this, please pray for me.
-John
I will pray for you, John.
I also have been treating God like a whatever, a genie, an old grandpa who is in the way and I will just expect him to forgive me when I sin, but then I can ignore him until I need help.
This is not right. I pray for you, John, and me as well, that we both learn to love God and Jesus Christ with all our hearts, and all mind, and with all our strength.
I have very little fear of God too.
But i believe the Gospel and repented, but i still sin, which discourages me...
It's up to the Ultimate Judge to seal my fate.
He is Righteous, i'm not.
Thank you for the reminder about the fear of God. We need a well balanced view of God which the Bible provides. God is loving and gracious, but he is also righteous, holy, and the great "avenger" (Psalm 35, 94,)
LOVE YOU BROTHER... ALL THE TIME
I know what the Bible says... let not your heart be troubled 😟...nor be afraid...as much as I try... sometimes I am afraid...I ask Yahweh for help and I am able to move on...I try my best to obey the commandments...
Lex back at his best - researching and presenting biblical truth by which to UNLEARN the lies.
Thank you Lex!
Wow! Fantastic! Praise Yah!!!
Thanks brother.
I love that you brought up the quote from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. That's my favorite exchange of dialogue in the whole Narnia Series. Perfect describes the nature of God: All Powerful and Good
Just a quick thank you for your commitment and dedication to the Almighty. You make sense and explain well! Good Demeanor I hope to be effective as you and until now I struggle pause stutter and stumble. Thank you 🙏
Beautifully put together! Thank you for the beautiful message, I pray Yah gives you and your family many blessings for kindly, humbly, and without ceasing pastoring and teaching His people and encouraging others to be better followers of the Word. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s service! Hoping my husband will join me. (Yah is working on strengthening his desire to hear and do the Word) 🙏🏽
I fear Him because I Love Him and Love Him because I fear Him. ❤️ Both work together perfectly and make me Obey. His love and mercy for us is SO abundant, least thing we want is to make him sad or angry 🕊
Shabbat Shalom!
Yes yes yes yes yes.🔑💡✝️🙏🏻💖🤔🤔🤔🤔
Does the fear of the Law stop all these crimes we all see daily? No.
Thats why fear of thr Lord IS the beginning of wisdom.
Thanks brother
Deut 5:29 has really blown my mind. It is has been awesome to read the book of Deuteronomy!
Great video Lex, thank you!
This was indeed a very helpful video....
Fear of God is knowledge. True worship is seeking God's face. Keeping His Commandments and having faith in Christ.
Obedience to His Truth and fulfilling His will for our lives. Being qualified for His Holy Spirit within which gives us power to overcome the enemy.
Amen
Its strange how ever since i asked God and Yeshua back into my life i get angry, disappointed and ashamed at myself for sinning. Feel too ashamed to ask for forgiveness because i dont deserve or or are unworthy of it. I take it that's a good sign?
Put your faith and trust in Christ and pray for the forgiveness of your sin. Approach God confidently.
As your will and HIS line up you'll experience the enemy trying new strategies to separate you from GOD. Conviction of sin is the motivation to quickly repent. Stop acknowledge apologize ask forgiveness and turn away from sin.
DITTO!...it is kinda like work in progress...trials and temptations..the world is being tested and refined..stand firm in endurance to overcome..faith is a process..stay in the Living Word and in everything, pray always..we are told to pray for strength..these last days we are instructed to pray without ceasing for a reason...it's a battle for our minds..and souls! Prayers for strength and peace to be multiplied on you🕯🌏🙏
If feelings of shame prevent you from asking for forgiveness, then your shame is no longer helpful.
Amen Lex!!!
Well spoken! Blessing and shalom
Love the way you introduce truths of GOD in a clear and full manor. Thanks for helping the Body of CHRIST grow! 🙏🏼
It's hard not to sin and I fear the wrath of God I surly pray he's merciful to us all amen
What An Excellent Video, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, THIS IS THE VERY BEST SERVICE VIDEO EVER, WORDS TAUGHT THANK YOU
To fear the vast mysterious ness and power of God, the all powerful JUST but at the same time Merciful Holy God of us...........what an amazing thing!
Thank you Lex😊
Good video, younger brother. A highly overlooked subject in our culture of comfort.
Thank you again for making these videos.
Good video brother. I fear him but not as much as I should. Thank you
Oh brother, that was so Good! Thank You! And Praise God! 👍🏻🙏🏻😀
This is such a warning and also a word of wisdom.. Thanks Lex.
You are the only teacher that I have come across that is on track to find the small gate and narrow path.
Your ministry was defined by Moses:
Deuteronomy 12:8 NASB95 - “You shall not do at all what we are doing here today, every man doing whatever is right in his own eyes;
I never looked at Fear God without viewing it from BOTH angles of the word.
Fear and respect God for what He has done for you.
But ALSO
God is to be feared because of what He can do to you.
God is Just. But he is also Grace and mercy.
Need to hear more, please. This feels like it was just an introduction. I just realized I missed this very important aspect in my spiritual walk.
Excellent teaching.
I am having difficulty reconciling "fear" with "respect" or "worship". How am I supposed to love God, when I am terrified of God. To me "terror" does not equal "respect" or "love". Seriously, if I am afraid of someone, I stay as far away from them as I possibly can so we never meet again.
This exact thought has been on my heart for a few months now. You said it perfectly. Thank you!
Thank you so much for being true to our God’s true word and instruction. I need it every hour of every day!! Please pray for me, I’m in desperate need of a miracle!! AMEN🙏
Excellent!
Amen. That's what the Scripture says.
A real eye opener Lex. Thank you
Thank you, Lex. Thank you, Father, for guiding Lex
Thank you 🌻
Thank you so much for this video!
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.
Thank you for blessing us with this teaching.
Great video, brother! Just what I needed. Thanks and many blessings!
loved this video, spot on!
Thanks so much. This video is very helpful and educative also. I love this, when you said Christain picked the love and grace but forget the judgement. So powerful message. The fear of the creator is wisdom.
The fear of God brought me to my salvation, But through spiritual maturity day by day I'm learning not to live in fear because of the promises that he makes to us and we know that he cannot lie! He has given us (assuming you are truly faithful) assurance that whoever comes to him he will never cast out 🥰. I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling with this knowledge he has given me... With that said I will always have reverence that he is the almighty Lion 🙌
It's the same thing, that fear is called regards for, reverence or to value.... or to respect.
Thanks Lex, Great Message. Hope you guys are doing well. We have moved but not too far away. God's Blessings and Shalom 🙏 Jim and Val Phillips..
Great teaching. Happy sabbath.
Thank you Lex for giving us the truth, I only listened to you a few times, I needed to hear this, I definitely will be listening to you more, God bless you for preaching the truth may he continue to bless you and your household
Thankyou man of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY messenger Bless you
Well explained. Thank You
Show me a true Christian who loves the Lord and I'll show you someone who loves the Law of the Old TESTAMENT and finds nothing offensive within said Law that God also stated was everlasting and perpetual !!
So do you old testament mosaic law to the absolute t and kudos to you if you are able to do so that is beautiful however if you don't but choose to proclaim this is what we are suppose to live by you would be like the Hebrews Yeshua himself rebuke in Matthew 23. According to scripture we as followers of Messiah we are not confined to the law that was given unto the Hebrews back which is also considered the curse of the law. The old covenant law only compass the hebrews of that time who were Gods chosen and who he wanted to be unlike the other nations, while the new covenant encompasses everyone all man of any creed who claims the savior as Lord and God. Romans 10 4: 9 and Hebrews 8: 7 expounds on this understanding and I would suggest you read the full chapter to understand the context as well. May Elohim bless you!
@@biggahkai The law is not a curse but sin is the curse man chose!! What part of Jesus Christ saying "HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY BEFORE ONE JOT OR TITTLE PASSES FROM THE LAW" do you fail to understand!!? In Matthew chapter 24 Jesus Christ states to pray that yoyr flught not be in Winter or on the SABBATH DAY!! IF YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN,,,,EXPLAIN WHAT PART OF LAW IS SO HARD FOR YOU TO FOLLOW!? IS THAT PORK I SMELL!!?
@@ramonortiz7462 this is why context is needed. I gave multiple text however you choose to poke fun and give one scripture without the proper context nor did you answer my question. Yes law is eternal however it has been done away and fulfilled Romans 10:4 &
Ephesians 2:15. The Messiah came to do so see Matthew 5:17. Now see if you did follow the old covenant "Law" do you sacrifice animals daily as a reminder of human sin? If so why when Christ payed it all from his sacrifice? Hebrews 10... We can have healthy dialogue as believers without the add non sense and your pride talking right? Like I said before the Old law was for the Hebrews under Elohim at the time and now the New Law encompasses both Jew and Gentile, all and any man that wants to claim Yah and Yeshua as the true and living God.
P.S like scripture says in 1 John 4:1 test and check if im wrong or not. God bless man...
@@biggahkai Sounds like somebody doesn't know the ENTIRE BIBLE!!? IN EZEKIEL CHAPTER 40 IT CLEARLY DESCRIBES ANIMAL SACRIFICES DURING MILLENNIAL REIN!! EZEKIEL 43:18-46..!! ISAIAH 56:6-8..!! Zechariah 14:16 and JEREMIAH 33:15-18..!! All refrence that animal sacrifice will resume in millennial rein!! You clearly disregard the MASTER'S VOICE I.E. YESHUA HAMASHIACHE AKA JESUS CHRIST WHO STATES THE LAW WILL NOT PASS!! WHAT YOU REFRENCE MAINLY FROM PAUL AND AN ASSIMILATED PETER WERE MEN TRYING TO CHRISTIAN-IZE MANY MANY GENTILE NATIONS WHO WOULDN'T BE AS WILLING TO GIVE UP PORK OR GET CIRCUMCISED TO BECOME CHRISTIANS SO PAUL MADE IT EASIER FOR THEM AND IS EASY TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND!! BY THE WAY WHEN I REFRENCE TJE LAW I MAINLY REFRENCE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AND THINGS GOD SAID WERE PERPETUAL ABOMINATIONS LIKE CONSUMING BLOOD OR EATING SWINE!! DO YOU KNOW WHO GOD IS?? DO YOU KNOW WHAT PERPETUAL MEANS!!? YESHUA HAMASHIACHE CAME TO DEFEAT SIN SO TJAT WE COULD BE SAVED I.E. THE GENTILES!! JESUS CHRIST DID NOT COME TO ALTER THE LAW OF ISRAEL I.E. GODS PEOPLE BUT TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO US AND IS WHY THE JEWS WILL REINSTITUTE THE ANIMAL SACRIFICE IN MILLENNIAL REIN,,,,,NOT US BUT THE LEVITE PRIEST. TRY READING OLD TESTAMENT AS FAILING TO DO SO RESULTS IN YOU NOT KNOWING WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT AND COULD EASILY BE MADE TO LOOK FOOLISH IN DEBATE AGAINST EVEN AN ATHEIST WHO MANY KNOW THE BIBLE BETTER THAN MOST CHRISTIANS! OLD AND NEW.....
@@ramonortiz7462 Christianity and new covenant
Matthew 22:36-40
In this passage, Yeshua quoted the Shema: Shema, Yisrael, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad, which is:
“Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One” (Deuteronomy 6:4).
This is the cornerstone of Jewish faith! Yeshua quoted from the Torah and in doing so affirmed the commandments.
Yeshua brought the promised new covenant to the House of Israel.
He did not bring a new religion known as Christianity. In fact, there was no religion known as Christianity until much later in Antioch when His disciples became known as Christians.
Christ-followers were Messiah-followers, whether Jewish or Gentile. That is how the term Jewish Christianity came to describe Jewish Believers in Yeshua and the new covenant He brought.
so good. thank you.
Great word! The fear of God is neither discussed or pressed upon in today's Christendom.. to many want their ears tickled and will find this truth, offensive!
Good job Lex
Thank you
Ok so this was an awesome video! I'm tired of people saying its reverence and leaving it at that. Very well done.
I only had 1 issue. I'm at work alone making salsa after dark. I'm listening to this on my headset. because the hood for the grill is on and sounds like a jet, I have my volume up so when you was talking about fearing the roar of a lion, I was not expecting to hear that roar coming through with bass boost and all. I literally about dropped a #10 can of tomatoes and I no longer need coffee to stay awake!😂
Man that lion. Yup It worked. I realized that I evidently am more scared of lights on a board I'm looking at than of the creator of the universe when I disobey him. Wow I need to fix that
Very blessed teachings. Blessings to you brother.
Thank you for this confirmation.
Thank you for the great video
GREAT teaching Lex👍👍👍
Thank you for all your reading and research. It must take up so much time. God bless you.
Being asked to love someone whilst also fearing them, is the very essence of sadomasochism.
😊you are correct.
1 John 4:18. There is no fear. In love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth hath not been perfected in love.
I was told as a child, that to fear God, means to always wanting to please Him, keep His commandments and walk in His ways. But, my Anglican upbringing also reminded me of His judgement. Terrifying.
The god of the bible is a immoral god.
@@robertwalker621 no he isn’t.
@@codyalexander3290 I call a god who destroys cities full of people pretty immoral. And I call torturing someone for eternity for a finite life of sin immoral. No way around it.
@@robertwalker621 people had plenty of warnings before they were destroyed. God never changed. Times and people have. He isn’t immoral. He can only surround himself with those who are righteous.
@Robert Walker
The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in Dante's Inferno.
Eternal life only in Christ Jesus.
im always living in fear
Yes
This is something it seems modern Christianity has forgotten the most. Of course modern Christianity sets a pretty low bar, but this is still something so basic to the faith.
Pride is No fear of God 🤔🔑💡✝️🙏🏻💖
Maybe, or just complacency perhaps, or maybe acceptance that He is the Righteous Judge and his Will be done regardless of our fear or lack of it.
And so we will either receive eternal life or be no more.
Have confidence in heart space, love for self and thus others. If God approves, you will certainly know
Love is not directed at self.
