The fear of God is defined by reverence and awe. In order to draw near to God, we need to learn how to fear Him in this manner. This fear of God is the beginning of knowledge.

A large part of the Bible is prophecy, and in order to truly get the most from the Bible we must make all efforts to understand it.

Third, it is important to be obedient, because the truth is in those who keep God’s commandments. Also, in order to understand prophecy, we must be converted and learn from God’s true servants.
