Mr. Godly-Fear

"The principle of Godly Fear in the soul is not so high or so hallowed a principle as that of God’s Peace, which has just departed and gone. But Godly Fear is now the representative of 'the things that remain;' and well and boldly does 'the fear of God' in man reprove the erring soul and rebuke the sinner in the decline of his faith, and hope, and love. The words of Godly Fear are like the arrows of conviction in the soul. It calls to remembrance the days of old; it openly reproaches the spirit of Carnal Security; it appeals to the conscience and experience of man, to tell how real is the decline of his joy, and peace, and blessedness, and sets before the soul the contrast between its present low, degraded, and desolate condition, and its former state when IMMANUEL and the SPIRIT reigned within, as the saving and sanctifying principles of the man of God."[2]
