“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;”
1 Timothy 6:3 KJV
Paul instructs Timothy and this who believe, that if anyone spreads false teaching that does not agree with the healthy instruction of our Lord Jesus, teaching others that holy awe of God is not important, then they prove they know nothing at all! It’s obvious they don’t value or hold dear the healing words of our Lord Jesus Christ. The doctrine or instruction here is the “fear of the Lord”. As Isaiah said that the spirit of the fear of the Lord is one of the seven spirits of God. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD. To teach that there is no fear of God would be leading people away from the Holy Spirit. The fear of God is more than simply loving and respecting God. It is being in awe of I AM THAT I AM - His power, might, majesty, splendour, glory - that causes even angels to cover their face with their wings, in His Presence. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts!
