Walking in the fear of God is our rescue from the fear of man.
The fear of man leads to the promotion of reputation.
When you fear man, you find yourself hiding your real self in a bid to present only what you want them to know about you.
But when you fear God, you make yourself naked before Him not minding who sees you or not.
Walking in the fear of God projects character, integrity and probity.
Character cares less about how anybody feels but how God sees.
Reputation wants to protect the ‘’body’’ from being destroyed but character fears God who is able to destroy both soul and body. Matthew 10:28.
