Fear of the Lord

Fear Of the Lord is the seventh and final gift of the Holy Spirit. This is probably the most misunderstood gift of the Holy Spirit. To Fear the Lord is to have a desire not to offend Him in any way. A part of this gift is the certainty that the Lord will provide us with the grace we need in order to keep from offending Him. A true Fear of the Lord allows us to not offend God because we love Him and we fear offending Him because it hurts him.



That is the final Gift of the Holy Spirit. Now we need an acronym that helps us to remember the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit in their proper order:

Wisdom

Understanding

Counsel

Fortitude

Knowledge

Piety

Fear of the Lord

The test will be next week. Work on memorizing these gifts. Make it a great day!
