FAITH CAPSULE: To be full of His fear is to be full of His love. 

1 John 3: 7-21

Claiming to love God comes down to obeying the commands of God. 
The will of God for all His creation is to fear Him. 
One with the fear of God shall be full of Him.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 admonishes, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandment, for this is man’s all.” 
Hear Him to fear Him.
To fear Him is to know and be consistent in obeying His commandments. One obeying the command of God lives for the glory of God.
Be full of His obedience and become the fear of God. 
To be full of His fear is to be full of His love. 
God is love, and love is also the presence of God. 
To fear God is to love God, the character of carrying His presence.
Apostle Paul points out that the purpose of the command of God is to love God. 
He states, “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk.” (1Timothy 1:5-6) Paul was not talking about the love that flows from the tips of lips. 
Paul was talking about a standard love that counts before God and a kind of love that is worthy of provoking the attention of God.
To love (fear) God is to constantly dwell in His presence (His presence is His word) and not depart from Him. God spoke, “They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’” (Jeremiah 32:38-41) 
In the above word of God, it is clear that the fear of God qualifies one as the people of God and not the assumption of others; it is not a title inside or outside of the church. 
Going by the word of God documented above, anyone who fears God undeniably takes a position to experience the goodness of God. 
It is also a joyous thing for one to dwell in His fear. 
Without a doubt, anyone doing what is good will gain the strength of God.
One with the joy of God is not to experience lack.
Why not do it right by fearing God and allowing the joy of the Lord to be your strength?

Prayer for today: Ask God to direct your heart into His Love, the patience of Christ.
