By Olusegun (Nigeria) "If you ask the average single Christian woman what qualities she looks for in the choice of a marriage partner; she is certainly going to say that the man must be God fearing. A God fearing man therefore is a "hotcake" in the choice of marriage partner.
Apart from the Christian women, Christian men would also readily agree that it is better to relate with a God fearing man. But the meaning of a God fearing man seems relative. It does appear as if our understanding of a God fearing man is a man that does things in a way that agrees with our desire.
It is therefore imperative to look at the word of God to understand what it means when God remarks that a man is God fearing. This is even more important because the scripture says, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
There cannot be a God fearing man without Christ. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a man outside Christ to be God fearing. That is why repentance from dead works is the first quality of a God fearing man.
