EVERYONE, not just some people we like! I am guilty Lord, of not seeing that all people need to know you through your son, Jesus. It is not my place to choose. Forgive me. Father, fill us with you spirit, that we might represent you boldly, that many might come to know you.

Unbelievers will not be drawn to accept Christ if believers’ lives do not demonstrate the qualities God desires, including peace and holiness (cf. Jn 13:35 ; 1Ti 4:3 ; 1Pe 1:16 (MacArthur Study Bible)

Someone has to be our master. Will it be the One True God, through Jesus Christ, or will it be a Master who is called the Destroyer in the Bible?

Set your mind. This can also be translated “think,” or “have this inner disposition.” As a compass points N, the believer’s entire disposition should point itself toward the things of heaven.
This fear, is a true reverence for God by a changed heart. The dynamic is unique. On the one hand, you understand your place before a Holy God. On the other hand, when you understand, that God wants relationship with his creation, it causes you to draw near, and want to please him, because he cares and loves for you. It is life changing thing.

While the unbeliever may make statements about life and truth, he does not have true or ultimate knowledge until he is in a redemptive relationship of reverential awe with God. Note the progression here: 1) teaching about God; 2) learning about God; 3) fearing God; 4) knowing God; and 5) imitating God’s wisdom. The fear of the Lord is a state of mind in which one’s own attitudes, will, feelings, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God’s (cf. Ps 42:1 ).
His promises never fail!
