From Conviction to Comfort

The Word declares that the fear of God is a fountain of life (see Proverbs 14:27). Also, this fear helps one to avoid the snares of death. In Proverbs 3:7 we read, “Fear the LORD and depart from evil,” and in Hebrews 12:28 we are instructed to “serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Those who desire to walk in the fear of God will soon be led into the full revelation of the promises and provisions of the New Covenant.

Perhaps God is dealing with you about your sin right now. He has shot His arrows of conviction into your heart, and you are feeling a sense of guilt over your sin. Do not panic—that is the gift of God. He is planting His divine power in you, teaching you, “Only through My holy fear will you depart from

your sin.”

Once you are convinced of the exceeding sinfulness of your actions, you will be ready for the comfort of the Holy Spirit. The book of Acts tells us, “Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied” (Acts 9:31). Do you see the writer’s point here? As these first-century Christians walked in the fear of God, they received the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

What exactly does it mean to walk in the fear of the Lord? In short, it means reminding yourself of His warnings. Also, it means allowing the Holy Spirit to bring your sins out into the open for you to acknowledge and cast them far away from you. In doing this, He is laying the foundation to fulfill every one of God’s covenant promises to you.

Then, when the fear of God has fully laid hold of you, you will dread the danger and consequences of sin. You will have the power of godly fear at work in you, and you will walk every day in this holy fear. Finally, you will see that all along God has been mercifully at work in you, doing what He promised—delivering you from the dominion and slavery of sin. The Old Covenant has finished its work—and now you can trust God to bring you into all the provisions and blessings of the New.
