Letter: What we should fear

Editor, Daily News:

Re: Anne L. Schuch's May 31 letter responding to the story on a faith-healing service at Ave Maria University.

Raising God-fearing children is a godly principle. An online dictionary gives several definitions for the word "fear," but this one is the most fitting: "Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power."

Both the Old and New Covenants are replete with "fear of the Lord." To fear God is to honor His commandments. As the Scriptures state: "If you love Me, you will obey Me."

Yes, God's love is given freely to all people "who receive Him."

For those who reject Him, at death, they will be separated for all eternity from God's love. This is what we should fear.
