Why did God take my child? Why did I get cancer? The fear of God helps us get through when we have questions we cannot answer. When we know that God is almighty, we can trust in Him. This is why we should study scripture, not just to study scripture, but to study in order to KNOW HIM. Because, if I know God’s character, I don’t need to know all the answers to why things have happened. For more information about the 2016 Fear of God conference, visit: https://ncfic.org/fearofgod

Why did God take my child or why did this thing happen? And you're going to go throughout all your Christian life with questions that you cannot answer. The greatest theologian can't answer. But here's the thing. If I know God's character, I don't have to answer those questions.

If If a dear and trusted friend walked in the room right now and yelled at me, throw me the keys to your car. I wouldn't ask him what he's going to do with my car because I know his character. So I can just trust him. It's the same way with all these things in life. People are constantly looking to answer these questions when what they should do is look to God and those questions fade.

They're just not important anymore. It's the knowledge of God. It's to press on, to know Him. It is the greatest endeavor. The greatest endeavor of the Christian life is not just study scripture, but study scripture to know him.
