Instead, it is the intensity of the saints’ love for, delight in, and enjoyment of all that God is. \u003cem\u003eRejoice and Tremble\u003c\/em\u003e examines what it looks like when a believer is filled with a right and healthy fear of God, and how this fear is the means by which the people of God exhibit to the world the divine qualities of holiness, blessedness, happiness, wholeness, and beauty as they point to Christ Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available as a concise version: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/products\/9781433565366-what-does-it-mean-to-fear-the-lord-reeves-michael\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord? by Michael Reeves at Reformers Bookshop\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat Does It Mean to Fear the Lord?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e176 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781433565328-rejoice-and-tremble-the-surprising-good-news-of-the-fear-of-the-lord-reeves-michael.pdf?v=1642027697\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView excerpt here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/collections\/all\/series_union-series?sort_by=best-selling\"\u003ePart of the Union Series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-section-header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Do Not Be Afraid!\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Sinful Fear\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Right Fear\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Overwhelmed by the Creator\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Overwhelmed by the Father\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: How to Grow in Fear\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: The Awesome Church\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Eternal Ecstasy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32331365941327,"sku":"9781433565328","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781433565328-rejoice-and-tremble-the-surprising-good-news-of-the-fear-of-the-lord.jpg?v=1636109657"},{"product_id":"9781433565366-what-does-it-mean-to-fear-the-lord-reeves-michael","title":"What Does It Mean to Fear the Lord?","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Surprising Good News of the Fear of the Lord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bible says that a wise person fears God and keeps his commandments.

They invite readers to look to Jesus as the glory of God in the world, which is the Christian’s ultimate motivation to share the love of God with others. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the concise edition of \u003cem\u003e\u003ca title=\"God Shines Forth by Daniel Hames \u0026amp; Michael Reeves\" href=\"https:\/\/reformers.com.au\/products\/9781433575143-god-shines-forth-how-the-nature-of-god-shapes-and-drives-the-mission-of-the-church-michael-reeves-daniel-hames\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGod Shines Forth\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eby Daniel Hames \u0026amp; Michael Reeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e80 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-section-header\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction: The Great Admission\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: The Glory of God\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: The Lamb on His Throne\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Fullness\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Emptiness\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Born in Zion\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Arise, Shine!\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Those Who Look to Him Are Radiant\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: We Will See Him as He Is\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39828153106511,"sku":"9781433575181","price":14.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/products\/9781433575181-what-fuels-the-mission-of-the-church-daniel-hamesmichael-reeves.png?v=1668987068"},{"product_id":"9781433575143-god-shines-forth-how-the-nature-of-god-shapes-and-drives-the-mission-of-the-church-michael-reeves-daniel-hames","title":"God Shines Forth: How the Nature of God Shapes and Drives the Mission of the Church","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eEvangelism and missions are parts of the Christian life often accompanied by fears, insecurities, and cultural pressures.

Love, for the God of the Bible, is not one activity among others. Love defines who he is most deeply. A love so great and so free that it could not be contained within the uproarious joy of Father, Son, and Spirit but spilled out to create and embrace finite and fallen humans into it. Divine love is inherently spreading, engulfing, embracing, overflowing. He wants you to know a love that is yours even when you feel undeserving or numb. The love of God is not something to see once and believe and then move beyond to other truths or strategies for growing in Christ. The love of God is what we feed on our whole lives long, wading ever more deeply into this endless ocean. And that feeding, that wading, is itself what fosters growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps no passage takes us into the endless love of God for messy sinners as deeply as the end of Ephesians 3. In one of the most spiritually nuclear passages in all the Bible Paul prays to the Father that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:16–19). Here, Paul prays that the Ephesians would be given supernatural power—not power to perform miracles or walk on water or convert their neighbors, but power, such power, the kind that only God himself can give, power to know how much Jesus loves them. Not just to have the love of Christ. To know the love of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe love of Christ is as expansive as God himself. We can underestimate it. We always do. We can never overestimate it. Who are we—weak, faltering, mixed-motives we—to be filled up with the very fullness of God himself? How can the clay be filled with the fullness of the potter, the plant with the fullness of the gardener, the house with the architect? What breathtaking condescension, what astounding dignifying of us. Yet this is not something God relents to do, wishing he could be doing something else. Filling up his fallen people with his own fullness is what he delights to do. And how does he do this? What is the means by which he fills us with his own fullness? The text tells us: “to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” Knowing Christ’s love is the means, and being filled with divine fullness is the purpose. We are infused with divine plenitude, fullness, buoyancy, joy, as we experience the love of Christ. We don’t go out and attain divine fullness. We receive it. This is the surprise of the Christian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis love is the power that burst the created order into existence, and most supremely you, the pinnacle of creation. He created you in order to love you. He knit you together with his hands so that he could pull you into his heart. One day we will stand before him, quietly, unhurriedly, overwhelmed with relief and standing under the felt flood of divine affection in a way we never can here in this life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you have ignored it, neglected it, squandered it, misunderstood it, or hardened yourself to it—the Lord Jesus Christ approaches you today not with arms crossed but with arms open, the very position in which he hung on the cross, and he says to you: None of that matters right now. Don’t give it another thought. All that matters now is you and me. You know you are a mess. You are a sinner. Your entire existence has been built around you. Step in out of that storm. Let your heart crack open to Joy. I was punished so that you don’t have to be. I was arrested so you could go free. I was indicted so you could be exonerated. I was executed so you could be acquitted. And all of that is just the beginning of my love. That proved my love, but it’s not an endpoint; it’s only the doorway into my love. Humble yourself enough to receive it. Plunge your parched soul into the sea of my love. There you will find the rest and relief and embrace and friendship your heart longs for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40880811016271,"sku":"9781682164143","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2773\/2624\/files\/9781682164143-gods-greater-love-25-pack.jpg?v=1698891108"},{"product_id":"9781682164129-i-will-never-cast-you-out-25-pack","title":"I Will Never Cast You Out (25-pack)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdapted from bestselling author Dane C.

And that’s the view that shows us who we really are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGod is perfectly holy, supremely beautiful and pure and radiant. In him there is nothing ugly or cruel or bent. When he revealed himself to Isaiah, the seraphim (magnificent angelic beings) were crying out, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts!” (Isa. 6:3). Nowhere else in all the Bible is God given this kind of threefold repeated refrain. His holiness is his supreme Godness, his utter deity—everything that makes him other than his fallen creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of the difference between a window and a mirror. Both are pieces of glass, created to be looked at. But a window is looked through while a mirror reflects back and shows us ourselves. We naturally look out at others like looking through a window, but seeing God is like being given a mirror. We see ourselves. We stop comparing with other people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHell Is Avoidable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike every other religion, Christianity does not provide step-by-step instructions for what we must do to avoid hell; it provides a Savior who endured hell in our place, if we will simply have the humility to admit it should have been us. The Bible does not give us steps to take or a list of duties to fulfill as if avoiding hell were like building a bunk bed. The Bible gives us a Rescuer. “God has not destined us for wrath,” the Apostle Paul wrote to a group of believers, “but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us” (1 Thess. 5:9–10). We are to collapse into his arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we are talking about in this brief final section is the good news, the best news, the most astonishing announcement that has ever been made or ever will be made in the history of the world. You can avoid hell. Anyone can avoid hell. Heaven is not for the deserving. It is for the repentant. Hell is not for the undeserving. It is for the unrepentant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe astonishing surprise at the heart of the universe is not that there is only one way to get to heaven.

He had come to end all religion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReligion is about what we do for God.

He was subbing himself in for us, if we will have him. But this was not like one basketball player for another. It was more like a king subbing himself in for a condemned prisoner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the cross, Jesus was suffering the death, the sentence of condemnation, that all of us deserve. He exhausted the full penalty that our sin deserved, for any who desire it.

The first commandment is, “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). In other words, God should be the number one person in my life that I’m trusting in. But I find myself trusting in myself all the time—counting on my own abilities, trusting in my reputation, enjoying what others think of me, drawing strength psychologically from financial savings. Not a single day goes by that I do not break that command.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sixth command is, “You shall not murder.” I’ve never killed anyone.

I get angry all the time, even if I’m usually able to keep it beneath the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seventh commandment is, “You shall not commit adultery.” Once again, Jesus got to the heart of things and said that we’ve broken that command if we lust in our heart toward a woman (Matthew 5:27–30). I’ve broken that one countless times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve broken the ninth commandment, not to lie, many times—a little bending of the truth, a shaded explanation of something that casts me in a slightly better light.

The disease is what the Bible calls “sin.” Sin is the dark twistedness within that causes us to live for ourselves. As we go through life, all we know is to live for Self. Even acts of love or neighborly friendliness, when honestly examined, are really just so that we will feel better about ourselves or so that others will think well of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe may not\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003efeel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat sinful—just as a fish doesn’t\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003efeel\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethat wet.

If sin is the color blue, it isn’t as if convicted felons have lots of blue and the rest of us are pretty much clean and white. Rather, everything that every one of us says, does, or even thinks has\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003esome\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etaint of blue to it.

He was the one person who didn’t live for himself. He lived for others. He laid his life down for others. We view other people in terms of how they can serve the purpose of making my life better. We live a “your life for mine” existence. Jesus stands out brightly across the millennia of human history as the one person who ever truly lived a “my life for yours” existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHe had no blue.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I Want to Trade Places with You”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou and I break God’s commands all the time.

His death on the cross was not just any death—it was the death that absorbed the deserved condemnation of anyone down through the centuries who desires the trade that Jesus offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf Jesus wanted you to complete the deal from your end, he would have said, “It is begun.” But he said, “It is finished.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll that’s left is for you to receive it.

You’re alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s like a baby moving from the womb to the outside world, or a statue coming to life, or a spell being broken. Not only are all your sins forgiven; you get your humanity back. You get your dignity back. There’s a new meaning and direction to your life. You discover a surprising buoyancy and joy from within, a glow and a calm that you can’t explain. Death no longer terrifies you. Your desires start changing, from the inside out.

In fact, you will be more aware of your sinfulness than ever before. At times it will feel like you’re getting worse, not better. And that’s why Jesus Christ’s words “It is finished” will be yours to cherish the rest of your life. He never asks for a trade back. Once his completed work counts as yours, it always will. That’s the whole point. It’s done.
