Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided. Proverbs 16:6
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that it is only through God's love and faithfulness that our sins are forgiven. It is love that sent King Jesus to earth to take the place of mankind. It is love that made King Jesus accept the cruel death of crucifixion to take away our sins.
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that it is God's faithfulness that keeps us secure in his love. We are forgiven forevermore because of God's faithfulness. We have eternal life because God is faithful to his word and promises.
Citizens of the New Kingdom know that when we fear the Lord we will avoid evil. Fearing God is our response to his love and faithfulness. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
