Proverbs 14:27
Proverbs 14:27
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning us away from the snares of death. This verse speaks to the wisdom and protection that come from reverence for God. The fear of the Lord is not a fear that brings terror but one that brings wisdom, understanding, and security. When we honor God, we are given life—both eternal and abundant. Reverence for God keeps us on the path of righteousness, shielding us from the dangers and traps of sin. As believers, we are called to live in awe of God, trusting that His ways lead to life and protection. This fear of the Lord is not oppressive but liberating, turning us from the snares of death and leading us to the safety and peace found in Him.
John 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.
James 4:14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Psalm 36:9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
