Gospel Fear

"Gospel Fear: The Heart Trembling at the Word of God" by Jeremiah Burroughs is a profound exploration of the Christian life that emphasizes the significance of revering God's Word. Burroughs, an esteemed Puritan preacher, illuminates the blessings inherent in a heart that trembles at the Word of God. Through seven sermons, he delves deep into the idea that a heart moved by the Word signifies a blessed frame of spirit, highly valued in the eyes of God.

Burroughs begins by defining "trembling at God's Word" not as a physical shudder but as a deep, respectful fear that shapes how believers interact with Scripture. This trembling indicates a reverence that goes beyond mere lip service, showing a genuine submission and humility before God's commands, promises, and threats.
