Do you fear God? Some think that the fear of God was merely an Old Testament occurrence and has no place in a believer's life now that Christ has come. In fact (some maintain) that because Christ has come God has changed. He is now a kinder and gentler version of his once grumpy and quick-to-fly-off-the-handle self we read bout in the pages of the Old Testament. The Scriptures teach very clearly that God does not change.
