Ever Loving!

Why do people say they are God fearing? You should never fear God but embrace him and accept him and he will guide you. The correct statement should be God Loving or God Embracing. God bless everyone!

In one of his books, CS Lewis gives his take on the Biblical phrase "fear of the Lord". (It's in Isaiah.)

I will never give it justice here, but his basic point is that it refers to an instinctive reaction a mortal would have when encountering a transcendent being, even if the being is benign.
