Agreed. I really wish their had been a decision on the part of the tranlators to figure out a better way of saying the “fear” of God. We worship and serve a God who is loving and compassionate. It is really about awe and respect, but “fear” is how it comes out. The only ones who need to fear God is the ones who allow God’s wrath to store up against them as righteous judgment. There, a healthy fear is most appropriate. Let us always show respect to Him who allows us Throne Room Access because of our relationship to the Son.God bless your work in His kingdom. Bryan
