Sin whispers to the wicked, deep within their hearts. They have no fear of God to restrain them. 2 In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. Psalm 36:1-2 NLT

LOVING GOD + RESPECTING GOD = FEARING GOD.

The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death. Proverbs 14:27
