“When we truly love God, reverence becomes the foundation of our relationship with Him. Fear of displeasing Him drives us to live a life that honors His name and respects His Word. A heart that loves God trembles at the thought of disobedience, knowing it hurts the One who gave everything for us. Reverence is not about dread, but about deep respect and awe for who God is. In loving obedience, we approach Him with humility and speak of Him with honor. When our love for God is pure, our desire is to please Him, and His approval is all that matters.”
