Rewards for fearing God

If we really understand the fear of God and its consequential blessings we would endeavour to practice it more and more until it is fully operational in our lives. In order to encourage you to seek the fear of God for yourself I have simply noted the scripture verses with themes attached to them so that you can look them up and meditate. Meditation brings your heart and mind together as one. Rewards for those who fear God
Here are at least 40 reasons to fear God!
Malachi 3:16,17
16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who meditate on His name.
17 ?They shall be Mine,? says the Lord of hosts,
?On the day that I make them My jewels.
And I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him.?

2 Corinthians 7:1
Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
