Bunyan: fear of God
Feast of Matthew, Apostle & Evangelist
Meditation:
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.—Proverbs 14:27 (NIV)
Quotation:
Let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive to you to fear Him greatly. He hath put His fear in thy heart, and hath not given that blessing to thy neighbour; perhaps not to thy husband, thy wife, thy child, or thy parent. O what an obligation should this consideration lay upon thy heart greatly to fear the Lord! Remember also... that this fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favourites, and to those that are greatly beloved.... John Bunyan (1628-1688), A Treatise on the Fear of God [1679], in The Whole Works of John Bunyan, v. I, pt. 2, Glasgow: Blackie, 1862, p. 479
