Is there a hell? Jesus believed there was. Luke 12:4-5

Should we fear God? Jesus believed we should. Luke 12:4–5

Is there such a thing as a power to cast into hell if hell does not exist?

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7, NKJV)

““The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10, NKJV)

The fear of The LORD is the beginning of knowledge. Knowledge begins when we hear the truth of God’s word.” Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.” We cannot come to God unless we believe that He is. When we come to God, Christ Jesus, in faith, we understand that He loves us. And knowing God gives understanding.

Now we understand, “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18, NKJV)

Fear made us want to hear what God had to say. The Word of God produced faith in our hearts. Faith in Christ Jesus brought us into the kingdom of God as His beloved family. Being perfected in the love of God by the indwelling Holy Spirit removes all fear.
