Introduction Proverbs

Theme of Proverbs “To fear the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” 1:7 “To fear the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight” 9:10 Additional wisdom literature confirms Solomon’s conclusion. Ecc. 12:13-14 “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. ….”

Fear of the Lord Is the beginning of knowledge Motivator A starting point but not an end Motivator Fear of injury prevents us from some activities Fear of the consequences of sin discourages participation Creates a cautious reminder Rahab Gibeonites Paralyzer Totally causing one to halt Children of Israel at Sinai

Is the beginning of knowledge God’s wisdom will guide and lead us Pr. 6:22-23 “…the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life.” Ps. 119:105 “Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Fear of the Lord gives strong confidence and honor – Pr. 14:26 Pr. 15:16 “It is better to have little with fear of the Lord than to be riche and lose it all at death.” Pr. 29:25 “The fear of man brings a snare: but whoso puts his trust in the Lord shall be safe.” Pr. 15:33 “Wisdom’s instruction is to fear of the Lord, and humility comes before honor.”

Is the beginning of knowledge Fear of the Lord gives strong confidence and honor– Pr. 14:26 Pr. 31:30-31 “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised…”

What does it mean to fear the Lord? It means to hate evil – Pr. 8:13 Pr. 22:3-4 “The prudent sees danger and hides himself…” Pr. 16:6 “…by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.” It means to trust in the Lord – Pr. 3:5-7 Pr. 14:12 “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” It means to keep His commandments – Pr. 2:1-5 Pr. 19:16 “Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his life…”

Faults without the fear of the Lord He deceives himself that his wisdom is best – Pr. 16:25 Pr. 12:15 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” He is confident that his evil will not reap sorrow – Pr 14:16 Pr. 10:23 “Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool, but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.” He mocks at sin – Pr. 14:9 “Fools mock at the guilt offering, but the upright enjoy acceptance.”

Two destinies of life Those who fear the Lord will find happiness – Pr. 3:13-18 Pr. 3:1-4 “…for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.” Trouble follows the fool who rejects God’s wisdom – Pr. 28:14 Pr. 13:13 “Whoever despises the word brings destruction on himself, but he who reveres the commandment will be rewarded.”
