How does God create reverence in us?

Reverence is cultivated in the heart through the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 130 verse 4 states that God offers forgiveness for the purpose of being feared. As we confront our sinfulness and experience God’s grace, we come to understand His holiness and the depths of His mercy. This fosters a heartfelt reverence that motivates a desire to serve Him faithfully. Recognizing that our iniquities do not define us because of Christ’s sacrifice allows us to respond in awe and gratitude, leading us to a life of worship and obedience.
