• The fear of God is most becoming to a saint. The fear of man is destructive of his spiritual life and testimony. How many a one has been ruined thereby! Safety and security are his portion whose trust is in the Lord alone. He who fears God will not fear man. He who fears man does not fear God as he should. See Paul, in Galatians 1:10; and compare Luke 12:4, 5, and John 12:43. (“Proverbs Twenty-Nine” by H.A. Ironside)
