Fear God
Passion City Church DC Podcast
Fear-driven religious actions as a means to avoid punishment
Religion in the Old Testament was often approached as a way to placate the deity and avoid punishment, rather than building intimacy. Some individuals engage in religious practices out of fear, not to know or connect with God. This fear-based approach leads to actions like attending church to keep God from punishing, policing others' behaviors in religious spaces, and even self-punishment in the hope of avoiding divine retribution. These actions are driven by a desire to recoil from God and escape perceived harm, rather than seeking a genuine relationship with the divine.
