How do I grow in the fear of God and decrease in the fear of man?
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that growing in the fear of God displaces the fear of man, as detailed in Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Cultivated through scripture, prayer, and community, this holy awe reflects God's attributes and majesty, as seen in R.C. Sproul's experience with Rudolf Otto's "The Idea of the Holy." The takeaway is that a progression in fearing God is central to the entire Christian life, leading to reverent submission and a deeper understanding of His presence.
