Here is a Descriptive/Informative essay I wrote in my English class. My teacher told me to write about what I fear the most, so I'll let you guess what I wrote about.
The Ultimate Fear
For me there is no question in my mind of what I fear the most. One day He will be the most feared being by all that do not fear Him now. When He comes, the lost will stand before Him and tremble like leaves in the wind. He will come like a thief in the night, when no one is expecting. I fear Him the most because I know He holds great power. What I fear is God Almighty, the creator of the universe and the Lord of my life.
As a Christian, I fear God because He is my heavenly father. To think about God sends chills down my back. He is the creator of the universe and also the creator of Heaven and Hell. God has always existed. He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Often people cannot comprehend that God has always existed. This is because people live in a world of time. Explaining God to an unbeliever is like explaining a math equation to a dead person. The only way a person can come to believe and fear God is by the Holy Spirit. Fearing God is the beginning of knowledge and truth.
Like my earthly father, God chastises me when I sin against Him. I remember when I was a little child, I broke my father’s garage window. My father came outside to discover the broken glass. He found me and began to yell, letting me know that I had done wrong. I ran from him, but he finally caught me and gave me the punishment I deserved. My father punished me because of his love for me. This also applies with my heavenly father. When I sin against God, conviction hits me like a truck. I then know that I have done wrong. God will punish me for my sins because of His unexplainable love. God’s love is far greater than even a mother’s love for her only child. I know that I am the apple of God’s eye, but I also know that His reprimanding hand will keep me where I need to be in life. I can run as fast as the speed of light and hide like a word in a crossword puzzle. However, God will find me and give me the punishment for my sins. He has His eye on me like a hawk.
The fear that unbelievers will face will be tremendous. The lost will stand before the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Unbelievers will be on their knees like beggars begging for money. When God came before He showed love, but the next time He comes, He will pour His wrath on all that denied His Holy name. God is love, but because He is love, He is also just. A just God cannot overlook sin. Those who do not believe will not be covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. The lost will stand before a Holy and Righteous God and be naked in sin before His eyes. God will say to the lost, "I never knew ye," and the lost will be cast down in a pit of fire. The pit of fire will be hotter than a burning furnace. The pain will last forever and ever. There is no water in Hell to cool the tongue. To be in Hell is to be absent from all love. This is why people should fear God now. To escape His wrath is to fear Him now.
Ultimately, I fear the wrath of God. I know that this fear will save me from an everlasting Hell when I die. Like a shepherd, God leads and guides me through my life. When I disobey His Word, He uses His staff to pull me back where I need to be in life. The fear of God is unappreciated like an underrated film that does not show in movie theaters. Jesus is the only way, the only truth, and the only light, and no one will enter the gates of Heaven without the fear of God Almighty.
