Why Jesus Taught Us To Fear God Rather Than People

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Jesus taught His disciples, "I will tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell."

(Psa. 34:4) Jesus taught His disciples, "I will ...read more
