Why does the psalm say: "With You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared"? Drawing on the wisdom of Thomas Aquinas, John explains the difference between fearing punishment and revering someone you deeply love. This episode explores: - Psalm 130 and crying out from the depths - God's forgiveness and unfailing love - Servile fear versus filial fear - Waiting for the Lord with hope - Lifelong friendships and spiritual formation - Becoming the kind of person who honors God through love Scriptures: - Psalm 130 #Psalm130 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #FearOfTheLord #Forgiveness #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms #Grace 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually.
