TSK · Luke 19:21

They said to Moses,“You speak to us and we will listen, but do not let God speak with us, lest we die.”

Then Samuel said to the people,“Don’t be afraid. You have indeed sinned. However, don’t turn aside from the LORD. Serve the LORD with all your heart.

So they say to God,‘Turn away from us! We do not want to know your ways.

You have said,‘It is useless to serve God. How have we been helped by keeping his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD of Heaven’s Armies?

because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love.
