## Resource

What happens when you truly encounter the holiness, majesty, and awesomeness of God? In Episode 8 of "The Fear of the Lord," Duane Sheriff teaches that fearing the Lord is not a tormenting fear that drives us away from God, but a holy awe and reverence that draws us deeper into His presence. In the book of Isaiah, the prophet sees God high and lifted up, filling the temple with His glory. In that moment of overwhelming holiness, Isaiah doesn't run away in terror. He experiences purging and cleansing when a seraphim touches his lips with a coal from the altar, and his iniquity is taken away. This is the fear of the Lord in action—it reveals our unholiness not to condemn us, but to cleanse us. We cannot see how unholy we are until we see how holy He is. Many believers misunderstand the fear of God, associating it with condemnation and rejection rather than with grace and relationship. When we truly see God’s holiness, we will also recognize our need for His mercy and cleansing. The fear of the Lord causes us to depart from evil—not through legalism or self-effort, but by being drawn into the beauty of God’s holiness, goodness, and love.
