We become what we worship.
The Spirit transform us by faith and in The Fear Of The Lord.
1 John 3:2
"We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is."
It is who He is, not what we are.
The fear of the Lord which the gospel teaches is the opposite of fear as we understand it. It's about recognizing and receiving God's goodness and protection so that we won't be afraid of him , but love him with all our heart.
Does that make sense?
Hosea 3:5 "Afterward, the people of Israel will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come with The Fear Of The Lord and to his goodness in the last days."
The Fear Of The Lord is a love for God as God!
And we are more alive in Him.
