Where in the Bible does it say Christians are to be afraid of God?

There are those who deny that a Christian can live by faith alone, that they must have “Jesus Plus” works. Their favorite scare tactic is, “We must FEAR the LORD!” I say where in the Bible does it say Christians are to be afraid of God?

Well, what does Jesus say about it?

Matthew 4: 8-11

(KJV)
8 The devil taketh [Jesus] up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Jesus was quoting (as it is written):

Deuteronomy 6:13

(KJV)
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

Know this beloved, there are no contradictions in the Bible, NONE! I have been in ministry for over 37 years and have been confronted by many with their so called, “contradictions in the Bible.”

Whenever you are faced with a similar accusation put your faith in God, not the accuser of all that is good! Our Lord says, the WORSHIP of God = the FEAR of God by His own translation of Deut 6:13.

Furthermore, look what the apostle of grace has to say in Romans,

Romans 8:15

(KJV)
Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Before our being redeemed by the blood of our Lord Jesus, we lived in the dreadful fear of God, that He has the power to send us to Hell . . . for there is none good! But now thru God’s amazing grace we can snuggle up right at home in God’s living room with no fear at all! Whereby we cry, Abba, Father, Dad, Pops!

I don’t know about you but that doesn't sound like we’re supposed to be afraid of God!
