Why are Christians Afraid of God?

The Bible does say there is to be a fear of God, but that’s a healthy fear; one of respect for God’s position, for who He is. But I’m talking about Christians who are afraid of God’s ways.

Nobody tells God what to do. We can believe by faith in who God is and His unlimited capabilities.

God is greater than mankind and does not react or follow along with what Christians think He should. God does things in ways that benefit His purposes and enlarge His kingdom. And He will use many that are willing to adapt to the way He chooses to work.

Here’s where the problem begins. Nobody has a monopoly on God. He’s not a Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, Catholic or any other denomination or independent organization. He’s God! For any group or pastor or religious movement to believe God is just like they say, they are out of order.

God chooses His methods. And He always goes along with His Word. But again, God’s ways are not always interpreted by man as such. Just because we don’t always understand doesn’t change God a bit. And just because God decides to show up in a situation in a way we don’t think is right doesn’t mean that we’re right.

God is not denominational or religious. Mankind is though. Just because you don’t understand other Christians’ ways doesn’t mean they are wrong. God never violates His Word, but every one of us has, at times. We are not always reliable because humans have flaws, but God doesn’t.
