Study Notes

The Fear of the Lord

True fear of the Lord encompasses a love for God, reverence, and submission to His will.
It is characterized by affectionate reverence, where believers humbly seek to align with God's intentions.
The only dread for a child of God should be offending the Lord, and the primary desire must be to please Him.

The Importance of Fearing God

Scriptural references highlight that fearing the Lord is essential:
- Isaiah 11:2 demonstrates Christ's fear of God.
- Jeremiah 2:19 emphasizes it is sinful not to fear God.
- Ecclesiastes 12:13 states fearing God is humanity's primary duty.
- 2 Samuel 23:3-4 indicates that true Christian leadership requires the fear of God.

Humanism vs. Christianity

Humanism positions man as central, advocating for autonomy and various opposing ideologies, such as atheism and evolution.
Key historical figures in humanism include Protagoras, Thomas Aquinas, Rousseau, and Karl Marx.
The humanist agenda aims to establish a one-world order that supersedes national sovereignty.

Philosophy and Tradition in Humanism

Humanism is framed as a philosophy grounded in human reasoning and traditions, often leading to empty promises and deceit.
Basic principles represent the world's viewpoint, which can distract from spiritual truths.

Gnosticism and Its Deceptions

Gnosticism is characterized by a deceptive show of wisdom, often using trickery to mislead.
It promotes outward humility and glorification of the self, diverting worship from God to angels.
Gnostics' focus on external displays undermines true spirituality, which is rooted in a personal relationship with God.

True Christianity and Fullness of Knowledge

Gnosis indicates knowledge, while epignosis refers to the fullness of knowledge found in Christ.
The fullness of knowledge is encapsulated in the teachings of Christ, who embodies all wisdom, completeness, and the fullness of the Godhead.
True knowledge and understanding cannot be achieved through human efforts and must involve knowing Jesus Christ as Savior and seeking God's will.

Obtaining the Fullness of Knowledge

Knowledge of Christ as Lord is foundational for spiritual growth.
Pursuing God's will involves increasing one's knowledge through scripture, prayer, and active engagement with God's word.
The Bible distinguishes between earthly wisdom and divine wisdom, promoting the latter as a source of peace and goodness.
