Fear God | Elder Justin Hendricks | 30 May 2026

About this episode

Elder Justin Hendricks discusses the true meaning of fearing God as a loving relationship rather than fear, illustrated through the story of Abraham and Isaac.

Elder Justin Hendricks explains that the call to “Fear God” in Revelation 14 is not about being afraid of God, but about loving, trusting, and surrendering completely to Him. Using the story of Abraham and Isaac, he shows that true faith is demonstrated when we take God at His Word, even when we do not fully understand His plans. The sermon emphasizes that obedience is the result of a loving relationship with Christ, not an attempt to earn salvation. Before the church can effectively share the gospel with the world, believers must first experience Christ personally and allow Him to transform their lives.
