The Healthy Fear of the Lord

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan Jr. preaches on the importance of having a healthy fear of the Lord, distinguishing between the unregenerate who do not fear God and the regenerate who do. He emphasizes that this fear is not terror but a reverential respect that leads to wisdom and obedience, warning against complacency in the church and personal sin. Using biblical examples from Psalms, Hebrews, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and others, he illustrates how fearing God is essential for spiritual life and growth. The sermon calls believers to maintain a proper fear of God as a sign of true faith and a safeguard against sin.
