You respect God and live right, so don’t lose hope! (Job 4:6 CEV)
The whole duty of man is this: Fear the Lord and obey His commandments. It is not an option. It is our obligation as we are His creation. He owns us and we are to give Him glory. God is holy and we are to be holy. Holiness is to be righteous before God. We have to be righteous so that we can be confident that God may uphold us during troubled times. We have firm hope that He will save us in difficult times. Our hope is our anchor in stormy seas to make us stand firm and live in peace.
