WHAT IS YOUR DUTY IN LIFE?
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole [duty] of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. Ecclesiastes 12: 13

WHAT ARE THE PROMISES OR REWARDS FOR THOSE WHO LISTEN AND OBEY | RESPECT AND FEAR GOD?
1 Samuel Chapter 12: Prophet Samuel Farewell Speech
Key Verses 14 and 15
14  You must honour the LORD and serve him. You must obey his word and not turn against
his commands. Both you and the king ruling over you must follow the LORD your God. If
you do, it will be well with you.  15  But if you don’t obey the LORD, and if you turn against his
commands, he will be against you. He will do to you what he did to your ancestors.


Psalm 25:12 - 14:
Are there those who respect the LORD? He will point them to the best way. 13  They will enjoy a
good life, and their children will inherit the land. 14  The LORD tells his secrets to those who respect
him; he tells them about his agreement. (NCV)

Psalm 31:19 - 20 (Cf: Psalm 103:13; Psalm 147:11 Proverbs 1:7)
How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who fear you, that you have
given to those who trust you. You do this for all to see. 20  You protect them by your presence
from what people plan against them. You shelter them from evil words.

Psalm 103:13 The LORD has mercy on those who respect him, as a father has mercy on his
children. (As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him. NKJV)

Isaiah 50:10 (cf: Malachi 3:16)
“Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in
darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely upon his God.

Malachi 3:16 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.

Luke 1:50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.

Acts 10:34, 35 34  Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no
partiality.  35  But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by
Him.

  THE WOMAN WHOM GOD THE FATHER LOVED - LEAH PAAWE Ministries' Baking/Cooking You-Tube Podcasts and Videos series based on the Biblical event of Jesus visiting the home of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38 -42.
