Matthew 10:28
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
This passage about fearing the one who has power over the soul speaks to the reverence and respect due to God alone. While people can harm the body, it is God who holds authority over both body and soul, making Him the ultimate judge. This call to fear God is not about terror but about recognizing His supreme authority and the eternal impact of our relationship with Him. It is a reminder to prioritize spiritual health over physical concerns, trusting in God’s wisdom and guidance. By acknowledging His authority, believers find peace, knowing they are under His protection. This reverence for God fosters a life rooted in faith and obedience, avoiding the pitfalls of worldly fear. It reminds us to trust in His sovereignty, knowing that a life aligned with His will leads to eternal peace and fulfillment.
