Awe and Gratitude are two expressions of the proper way of fearing God
With you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared -
Psalms 130:4
Neither awe nor gratitude alone can represent adequately show the meaning of the fear of the Lord
At the same time:
Three most profound words in the Bible: God is love -
1 John 4:8
More than God is loving, he is love
This is love: He sent his Son as a atoning sacrifice -
1 John 4:9-10
God showed his love by sending His Son.
Key Phrase: Neither awe nor gratitude alone can represent adequately show the meaning of the fear of the Lord
