We don’t hear much talk about “the fear of God” these days, and I have to admit it’s not a topic that you want to hear. But it doesn’t diminish the fact that the Bible commands Christians to be governed by a reverential fear of the Lord.

Saa^lo^morn gorngv, “Naaiv deix yietc zungv sic haiz liuz aqv Saa^lo^morn gorngv, “Naaiv deix yietc zungv sic haiz liuz aqv. Ih zanc gorngv setv mueiz waac.

Solomon said, “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil..” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

I. Gamh Nziez Tin-Hungh. The Fear of God 1. Gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei eix-leiz se zieqv duqv gorngv Tin-Hungh se dongh haaix dauh. Se^kaa^li^yaa gorngv, “Nernh Jiex nyei ZIOUV hnangv naaiv gorngv, "Meih mbuo nyei ong-taaix cuoqv yie qiex jiez nyei ziangh hoc, yie hnangv naaiv dingc bun meih mbuo zuqc zeqc naanc yaac maiv korv-lienh meih mbuo.” (Se^kaa^li^yaa 8:14). The fear of God meant, is to recognized who God is. The prophet Zechariah said, “This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Just as I had determined to bring disaster upon you and showed no pity when your fathers angered me," says the LORD Almighty” (Zechariah 8:14)).

2. Weic Tin-Hungh Nernh jiex –yaac maaih qaqv hengv jiex yiem norm-norm dorngx – mv maaih haaix nyungc haih bingx duqv Tin-Hungh jienv, yaac haih biaux duqv Tin-Hungh ndutv. Since God is Almighty—since He is powerful and present—nothing can hide from God and escapes His awareness. 3. Gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei jauv dongh naaiv aqv! Tin-Hungh heuc mbuo liuc leiz mbuo nyei maengc bun maaih sung-lamz nyei jauv, yiem ninh nyei nza’hmien mv maaih guaix ngoic jauv. That’s what the” fear of God” is all about! God calls us to order our lives in such a way that we will “present us faultless in His presence.”

4. Yie laaic zoux mbuo fu-sux Tin-Hungh se weic mbuo hnamv Ninh 4. Yie laaic zoux mbuo fu-sux Tin-Hungh se weic mbuo hnamv Ninh. Mv baac naaiv maiv zeiz Ging-Sou njaaux nyei jauv. Ging-Sou gorngv, gamh nziez Tin-Hungh se benx da’yietv diuc jauv bun mbuo fu-sux Tin-Hungh. I thought I served God because of my love for Him. But that is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says “the fear of God” is the primary reason we serve God. *Singx Nzung 85:9 gorngv, “Ninh nyei njoux en ndongc haaix zungv yiem nitv fatv taaih ninh wuov deix mienh, weic bun ninh nyei njang-laangc yiem yie mbuo nyei deic-bung. Psalm 85:9 say, “Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.”

*Fi^lipv^poi 2:12 gorngv, “Hnamv nyei gorx-youz aac, weic naaiv, hnangv zinh ndaangc yie caux meih mbuo yiem, meih mbuo zanc-zanc muangx yie nyei waac. Ih zanc yie maiv caux meih mbuo yiem aqv, mv baac meih mbuo gauh oix zuqc muangx longx. Oix zuqc gamh nziex, sin zinx jienv longc qaqv zoux ziangx meih mbuo duqv njoux nyei gong. Philippians 2:12 says, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.”

Lomaa 12:11 gorngv, “Maiv dungx lueic *Lomaa 12:11 gorngv, “Maiv dungx lueic. Oix zuqc jorm hnyouv jienh fu-sux Ziouv.” Romans 12:11 says, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” *1 Ko^lin^to 15:58 gorngv, “Yie hnamv nyei gorx-youz aac, weic naaiv meih mbuo oix zuqc sienx wuonv, maiv dungx tuix. Oix zuqc zanc-zanc cuotv qaqv zoux Ziouv nyei gong, weic zuqc meih mbuo hiuv duqv meih mbuo weic Ziouv zoux gong, maiv maaih yietc nyungc maiv lamh longc.” 1Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.”

* Hipv^lu 10:25-26 gorngv, “Oix zuqc gapv zunv zoux leiz-baaix, maiv dungx guangc hnangv maaih deix mienh guangc guenx nor. Daaux nzuonx laanh oix zuqc yietc zei kuinx laanh weic zuqc meih mbuo hiuv duqv Ziouv Siemv Zuiz nyei Hnoi taux fatv aqv. Se gorngv mbuo hiuv liuz zien leiz mv baac duqv-eix zanc-zanc baamz zuiz, maiv maaih haaix nyungc ziec nyei ga'naaiv haih fiqv duqv zuiz aqv.” Hebrews 10:25-26 says, “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left.”

Gaa^laa^tie 6:9-10 gorngv, “Zoux kuv sic, maiv dungx hnyouv namx *Gaa^laa^tie 6:9-10 gorngv, “Zoux kuv sic, maiv dungx hnyouv namx. Se gorngv mbuo maiv tuix nor, taux ziangh hoc mbuo ziouc maaih siou-sengh. 10 Hnangv naaic, haaix zanc maaih qangx, mbuo oix zuqc zoux kuv sic tengx zuangx mienh. Lengc jeiv nyei oix zuqc tengx weic sienx Yesu benx yietc biauv mienh wuov deix.” Galatians 6:9-10 says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

5. Meih zuangx haaix nyungc ziouc oix siou duqv wuov nyungc 5. Meih zuangx haaix nyungc ziouc oix siou duqv wuov nyungc. Gaa^laa^tie 6:8 gorngv, “Se gorngv mienh sueih ganh nyei hnyouv hanc zoux se hnangv zuangx nyim njiec ndau nor, siou daaih nyei se bun ninh zuqc daic. Mv baac mienh ei Singx Lingh zuangx, Singx Lingh ziouc bun ninh siou daaih nyei se yietc liuz nyei maengc. Galatians 6:8 says, “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

II. Gamh Nziez Tin-Hungh Nyei Fuqv. The Benefits of Godly Fear 1. Ging-Sou gorngv gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei jauv se bun mienh maaih siouc nyuonh ndaauv. Cong-Mengh Waac 10:27-29 gorngv, “27 Mienh taaih ZIOUV bun ziangh nyei hnoi-nyieqc jaa ndaauv, mv baac orqv mienh nyei hnyangx-soux nangv njiec. 28 Kuv mienh maaih lamh hnamv nyei setv mueiz se njien-youh, mv baac orqv mienh hnamv oix duqv nyei, setv mueiz maiv duqv haaix nyungc aqv. 29 ZIOUV zoux hnyouv zingx nyei mienh kaux wuonv nyei dorngx, mv baac bun zoux orqv sic nyei mienh zuqc mietc.” The Bible says the fear of God lengthens life. Proverbs 10:27-29 says, “The fear of the LORD adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. 28 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. 29 The way of the LORD is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil.”

2. Gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei jauv se maiv zeiz kungx bun mbuo maaih siouc nyuonh ndaauv hnangv, yaac benx beu goux mbuo nyei jauv. Singx Nzung 33:18-19 gorngv, Mv baac ZIOUV nyei m'zing mangc jienv gamh nziex ninh, taaih ninh wuov deix, dongh kaux ninh ziepc zuoqv hnamv mienh nyei hnyouv wuov deix. Ninh oix njoux ninh mbuo, bun ninh mbuo maiv zuqc daic, ngorc hnaangx nyei ziangh hoc yaac bun ninh mbuo maaih maengc ziangh jienv.” The fear of God not only lengthens days, it also guards us. Psalm 33:18-19 says, “But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.”

3. Se gorngv mienh zoux nyei sic bun Tin-Hungh a’hneiv ninh nor, maiv gunv ninh nyei win-wangv zungv oix caux ninh baengh orn nyei yiem. Yiem Cong-Mengh Waac 16:6-7 hnangv naaiv gorngv, 6 Mienh ziepc zuoqv gan longx Tin-Hungh ziouc duqv zuiz guangc liuz, mienh taaih ZIOUV ziouc duqv simv nqoi orqv sic. Se gorngv mienh zoux nyei jauv bun ZIOUV a'hneiv, ZIOUV yaac bun wuov dauh nyei win-wangv caux ninh horpc.” If a man’s action is pleasing to God, even his enemies will make peace with him. In Proverbs 16:6-7 says, “Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD a man avoids evil. When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.”

4. Gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei jauv se tengx mienh haih duqv zipv Tin-Hungh nyei lengc jeiv fuqv. Yiem Singx Nzung 31:19-20 gorngv, “Meih za'gengh longx haic. Meih siou longx nyei ga'naaiv yaac bungx-zuoqc, aengx yiem baamh mienh nyei nza'hmien bun taaih meih, ndaauh kaux meih nyei mienh. 20 Meih dorh ninh mbuo bingx jienv meih nyei nza'hmien mbueiz nyei dorngx, biaux ndutv mienh daav waaic nyei za'eix. Meih bun ninh mbuo yiem norm dorngx beu jienv ninh mbuo, biaux ndutv gorngv doqc nzaeng jaax nyei waac.” The fear of God brings special blessing. In Psalm 31:19-20 says, “How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you, which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you. 20 In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.”

5. Nyiemc ganh zoux faix zatv ganh njiec gamh nziez Tin-Hungh nyei mienh se maaih dunh yunh nyei maengc. Yiem Cong-Mengh Waac 22:4 gorngv, “Nyiemc ganh zoux faix yaac taaih ZIOUV bun mienh duqv zinh zoih, duqv mienh taaih yaac duqv maengc ziangh.” In Proverbs 22:4 says, “Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth and honor and life.”

Godly Fear Should be Life’s Governing Principle. III. Hnamv Tin-Hungh Gamh Nziez Tin-Hungh Nyei Jauv Se Benx Gunv Goux Ziangh Maengc Nyei Leiz-Nyeic. Godly Fear Should be Life’s Governing Principle.

1. Ging-Sou gorngv taaih Ziouv caux gamh nziez Ziouv nyei mienh se maiv ei ganh nyei hnyouv zoux haaix nyungc. Muangx gaax I^saa^yaa hnangv haaix nor gorngv taux. Yiem I^saa^yaa 11:2-3 gorngv, “ZIOUV nyei Singx Lingh oix yiem ninh, Singx Lingh bun ninh maaih cong-mengh caux wuonh zaang, Singx Lingh bun ninh haih caangh laangh yaac maaih domh qaqv, Singx Lingh bun ninh haih mengh baeqc yaac bun ninh taaih ZIOUV. 3 Ninh zungv oix buangv hnyouv taaih ZIOUV. Ninh maiv zeiz ziux ganh nyei m'zing buatc nyei siemv, yaac maiv zeiz ziux ninh nyei m'normh haiz nyei dunx sic.” Bible says those who respect and fear God is not live according to the sinful nature, but according to the Spirit. Listen to Isaiah’s prophecy. In Isaiah 11:2‑3 says, “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD— (3) and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.”

2. Maiv taaih Tin-Hungh nyei mienh horpc zuqc hiuv duqv gamh nziez Tin-Hungh. Cong-Mengh Waac 1:28-29 gorngv, "Wuov zanc meih mbuo oix heuc yie, yie yaac maiv dau. Meih mbuo oix zimh lorz yie, yaac lorz maiv buatc, 29 weic zuqc meih mbuo nzorng wuonh zaang, meih mbuo yaac maiv ginv taaih ZIOUV. And the ungodly have every right to their fears. Proverbs 1:28-29 says, “they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. 29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD.”

3. Yesu gorngv, "Heuc jienv yie, 'Ziouv aah. Ziouv 3. Yesu gorngv, "Heuc jienv yie, 'Ziouv aah! Ziouv!' wuov deix mienh, maiv zeiz dauh dauh haih duqv bieqc Tin-Hungh nyei guoqv. Kungx dongh ei yie nyei tin-dorngh Diex nyei eix zoux wuov deix duqv bieqc hnangv. 22 Taux siemv zuiz wuov hnoi mienh camv nyei oix mbuox yie, 'Ziouv aah! Ziouv!

Meih mbuo zoux waaic nyei mienh gaanv biaux nqoi maah!' (Matv^taai 7:21-23). Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (Matthew 7:21-23).

"Yie mbuox meih mbuo, taux siemv zuiz wuov hnoi, mouz laanh mienh gorngv nyei joux-joux henh waac, gorqv-mienh ganh oix zuqc ndaam-dorng. 37 Tin-Hungh oix longc meih ganh nyei waac dingc meih maaih zuiz fai maiv maaih zuiz." (Matv^taai 12:36-37). “I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.“ (Matthew 12:36-37).

The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. 11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives . (2 Peter 3:10-11).
