Some redefine the fear of God for believers to “respecting” Him. While respect is definitely included in the concept of fearing God, there is more to it than that. A biblical fear of God, for the believer, includes understanding how much God hates sin and fearing His judgment on sin—even in the life of a believer.
Baadhi ya wengine hutafsiri upya kumcha Mungu kwa waumini “heshima” kwake. Wakati heshima ni dhahiri pamoja na dhana ya kumuogopa Mungu, kuna maana zaidi kuliko hiyo.
