Living in Holy Awe

Scripture Reading: 1 Peter 1:17
"If you appeal to the Father who judges impartially according to each one’s work, you are to conduct yourselves in reverence during your time living as strangers."

Christian theology holds a powerful paradox in 1 Peter 1:17—the tension between God as our Father and God as our Judge. Peter balances profound intimacy with absolute accountability, reminding us who we truly serve while living as temporary residents in this world.

We call upon God as our Father (Pater). As Romans 8:15 notes, we cry out, "Abba, Father"—a term of tender, familial intimacy. Like the traditional Quaker use of "thee" and "thou," it reflects a deep, personal relationship.

Yet this same loving Abba is also our Judge, the One who evaluates our lives without a hint of favoritism. We have all seen human parents display partiality, but our heavenly Father never does. Abba is equally loving, generous, impartial, and fair.

This truth reshapes how we view others and ourselves. As Romans 14:10–12 and 2 Corinthians 5:10 remind us, we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Each of us will give a personal account of our lives.

Crucially, it is Abba Father—not other Christians—who will ultimately judge us all. While eternal life is a free gift received by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9), our heavenly Father will reward us based on how we have lived. He rewards actual obedience, not just good intentions.

This calling demands reverence—a deep, holy awe described as a "reverential trust combined with a hatred of evil."

When trials come, remember that God sometimes lets the storm rage because the storm is rescuing you from who you would have become without it.

Walk daily in the comfort of His fatherly love and the wisdom of His holy accountability.
