Grace for your spirit
But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?" Luke 23:40
This is part of the conversation between the two thieves on the cross beside Jesus. One of them was criticizing Jesus and the other was defending Him. The one criticizing certainly did not fear God. Fearing God is a combination of being afraid, respecting, and obeying in view of the coming circumstances. The perishing thief had none of these, and he would soon be dead. When we criticize God, it is obvious that there is no fear of God before our eyes too. Death is coming out way as well, and it is time to develop that fear in our lives before it is too late. Job's wife told him to "curse God and die". That is the worst advice anyone could give or get.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
