EX 23-24 Ps14 cts 5

The fear of the Lord is a remarkable realisation which comes as a result of a demonstration of God’s power and authority. So why does God not do this more often in order to bring men's hearts into line with his will? The Bible shows us that mainly God is revealed in this way to large communities and is less personal. Individually we know God as a God of love and compassion, but there are limits. He will never compromise his Holiness. Knowing this helps us stay within the boundaries and maintain a healthy relationship with God. Wilfully lying to God, for instance, has a terrible and wretched outcome.
