Admiração: o que significa e como gera temor a Deus
O que significa a admiração na Bíblia
Na Bíblia, a verdadeira admiração por Deus é descrita como temor reverente: o respeito profundo diante da Sua santidade e soberania, e não um pavor que paralisa ou afasta. Reconhecer a grandeza de Deus coloca o ser humano no seu devido lugar e constitui o ponto de partida para qualquer sabedoria real.

but the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.(Proverbs 1:7)

The fear of Yahweh teaches wisdom.

Como a reverência a Deus transforma a conduta
A admiração bíblica não fica restrita ao sentimento: ela molda decisões práticas no dia a dia. Quem reverencia a Deus aprende a rejeitar o erro, vive com sobriedade e experimenta contentamento que o acúmulo material não proporciona.

and nourishment to your bones.(Proverbs 3:7,8)

than great treasure with trouble.(Proverbs 15:16)
The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh
is wealth, honor, and life.(Proverbs 22:4)
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.(2 Corinthians 7:1)
O cuidado de Deus com quem O teme
A Escritura afirma com frequência que o olhar e o favor de Deus repousam sobre aqueles que O honram de coração. Essa consideração reverente gera firmeza interior, esperança e bênção na vida familiar.

O dever humano e a admiração nas relações
O propósito essencial da existência humana consiste em temer a Deus e guardar os Seus mandamentos. No convívio diário, esse mesmo princípio ensina a discernir o que merece admiração: prestar a honra devida a cada autoridade e valorizar o caráter piedoso acima das aparências passageiras.
