God Can Only Love


Sunday School Lesson

“…and shall fear the Lord and His goodness…” Hosea 3:5b

Why would we fear the Lord’s goodness?  An evil Lord would demand our imitation by threat.  A loving Lord, loves us, not because we are lovable but because He Is Love.  This causes us to experience a deep sense of gratitude leading to imitation.  A good God is to be more feared than an evil one; we must love the unlovable!!!

Post Script:  Fear of God means reverential awe!!!
