18. Fear Of The Lord Means Delighting In God’s Word
Psalm 112:1 — “Who greatly delights in His commandments.”
Jeremiah 15:16 — “Your words were found and I ate them.”
2 Timothy 3:16 — “All Scripture is inspired by God.”
The fear of the Lord treasures Scripture because reverence treasures the voice of God. The believer who fears God does not treat the Bible casually. God’s Word becomes nourishment, correction, wisdom, and life.
Jesus answered temptation with Scripture because He honored the Father completely.
