Fearing God: the key to the treasure.., c.1-2

---

The author points out the Bible mentions "fear of God" 278 times, "trusting God" 91 times, and "love of God" 88 times, considering the repetition a hint as to what is important to understand.
The book starts with a historical look how the church got away from biblical teaching by assimilating the assumptions of liberalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, undergoing a feminization of Jesus, hymns, and the clergy which combined to downplay then hide the "hard" attributes of God.
Currently, the world largely shapes such churches. Since they have lost the concept of sin and holiness, they can't articulate a defense for marriage, or even male and femaleness, or anything, really. After a couple years, they just accept whatever secular liberalism tells them and work it into the "loving God" notion, which accommodates anything. Go with the flow.
The Bible uses seventeen different Hebrew words, one Aramaic, and one Greek word to describe different kinds of what gets translated into English as "fear". The author goes into the nature and meaning of each variation, ultimately developing the case for a multi-faceted relationship with God that recognizes and respects his nature and ability to create, judge, and save, and awe of the implications..
