Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching.Keep My Commandments Summarized: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgV### Understanding the Fear of Man: Selfishness and Its Impact on MarriageIn this Bible study, the speaker, Dr. Michael Davis, begins a new series by defining the **fear of man** and exploring how it affects our relationships, particularly marriage. The message defines the fear of man as having more regard for what people may think or do than for what God thinks and does. The discussion highlights that this fear is at its root **selfishness** and is a primary motivator of mankind. The speaker shares personal anecdotes and a story about two men who became bitter at their wives, and how the root of their issues was the fear of man. The video concludes by asserting that the Bible contains more wisdom for daily life than just salvation, and that a deep, meditative reading of Scripture can transform our understanding and our relationships.---- The purpose of the Bible is not just for salvation in the afterlife but to provide wisdom and direction for our daily lives.- The Hebrew and Greek words for "keeping God's Commandments" refer to intently looking at and meditating on God's word, not just obeying.- The fear of man is a key motivator in human life, even if we don't recognize it.- A functional definition of the fear of man is "having more regard for what man may do or think than for what God does and thinks".- The fear of man is the opposite of agape love, and is ultimately selfishness.- The speaker uses the life of King Saul as a primary example of a person motivated by the fear of man.- The teaching is geared toward men, with a warning to women to be careful of expectations for their husbands if they listen.- The speaker shares a personal testimony of how the Lord revealed the issue of bitterness in his own marriage, which he also witnessed in others.---The video concludes by asserting that the Lord wants to make Himself known to us by revelation and that we receive this by spending time with Him and listening to His voice. The ultimate takeaway is that it's not enough to simply read and memorize scripture; we must spend time with the Lord to get to know His voice so that we can have a relationship with Him.---#FearOfMan #Marriage #BiblicalInterpretation #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Selfishness #KingSaulAlive Inc LinksWebsite: https://www.keytorevival.org/The International Ministerial Institute: https://www.keytorevival.org/imi/Your Face, O Lord, I Shall Seek (and other resources): https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/resources/Order Resources: https://www.keytorevival.org/alive/order/Fear of man, being concerned for what people think of you more than what God thinks of you, is a hidden and destructive virus to any marriage.
