FAITH CAPSULE: Lack of fear of God gives way to sins and iniquities.
Genesis 19:1-29
The fear of God makes the difference between a believer and a non-believer.
The fear of God is what makes one live life for God.
Without the fear of God, there is no living by the words of God.
The ones that do not fear Him have it rooted in their heart, and the Psalmist states, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God” They are corrupt, they have done more abominable work, There is none who does good.” (Psalm 14:1)
The foolishness of one is in the heart, while demonstration testifies to a lack of no fear of God.
The wife of Lot was foolish in the heart.
The wife of Lot lacks fear for God by her demonstration of disobedience to the word of God.
The word records how God wanted to deliver Lot, his wife, and children from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, “…the Lord being merciful to him and they brought him out and set him outside the city. So it came to pass when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.” (Genesis 19:16-17)
The wife of Lot looked back against the word of deliverance, and she became a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19:26)
The word of God is truth and never fails.
A true believer of God is with truth to possess all possession that is in place for every believer.
One that does not live life for God does not have fear for God in the heart.
The word of God is accurate, “The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction: he will not be visited with evil.” (Proverbs 19:23)
The foolishness of the life of the wife of Lot was evidence of a lack of fear of God to become a victim of evil visitation.
Live life for God, fear God not to become one that demonstrates lying, deception, manipulation, corruption, abominations, and lack of any good that glorifies God.
Fearing God should not be only of the mouth but with evidence, living life for God.
Have you repeatedly confessed the fear of God with no integrity to back up your confession?
Integrity counts before God, while noise-making does not count for living life before God.
It is possible to have good intentions and not fear God.
The race of life is not only about being good but about being righteous and living life before God through the blood of Jesus.
A lack of fear of God shelters sins, and God does not overlook any sin. Let the fear of the Lord become conspicuous in your life, and be free from evil visitation.
Prayer for today: Ask God to give you one heart and one way to fear Him living life before Him.
