[QUOTE="Soyeong, post: 77234832, member: 375022"] The Hebrew word "pachad" refers to the type of fear that causes us to want to run away and hide while the word "yireh" refers to the type of fear that causes us to see and run towards someone. In other words, there is a type of fear where we don't want to be close to someone and a type of fear where we don't want to be separated from someone, and the type of fear of God that is the beginning if wisdom is the latter, so even our fear of God is rooted in our love for Him. When express and aspect of God's nature through our obedience to His commands, such as justice, we are expressing our love for that aspect of who God is, which is why there are many verses in both the OT and the NT that connect our love for God with our obedience to His commands. In other words, our love for God leads us to draw close to Him by obeying His commands and to avoid doing things that would separate us from Him by disobeying His commands. [/QUOTE]
