Another way we can grow in our fear of God is reading through the Bible

When a new king takes the throne - Deuteronomy 17:18-19

• He is to make copy of the law
• Read it all the days of his life
• Learn to revere the Lord

Regular reading through the OT, we see God's holiness and sovereignty
85,000 men killed without a shot fired - 2 Kings 19:35

And learn of his unfailing love and faithfulness
Psalms alone contains 25 references to the Lord's unfailing love

The NT has the message of mercy from God via Jesus
God made him who had no sin, be sin, so we would become righteous before God - 2 Corinthians 5:21
Key Phrase: Reading through the Bible helps us to grow in fear of the Lord
