Romans 3:18, Only Fear God
The last revealing characteristic of depraved men, the Apostle Paul observed, is that they have “no fear of God before their eyes”. The fear of God leads a man to depart from evil (Pro. 16:6). The fear of God leads him to hate evil, pride and arrogancy and the evil way and the froward mouth (Pro. 8:13). To fear God is to understand that God judges evil and the evil man cannot escape the wrath of God. God would come after him. He fears to offend God who is a consuming fire (Heb. 12:29)!
