1 Peter 1:17

And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:

• Wisdom
• Life
• Purpose
• Time
• Prayer

In this verse, Peter reminds us that the relationship we have with God is one between a child and a father, as we have been graced with faith in Jesus Christ. A healthy amount of fear should be part of our daily lives. Rather than fearing God's wrath or eternal punishment, this is a fear that comes from the knowledge that the God of the universe watches and expects us to make choices that honor Him.
As Christians, we should strive to live a holy life without being burdened or stretched by obligations but rather motivated by a reverent fear and unquenchable awe of God - as well as a never-ending gratitude for the price that God prepared to pay for our redemption. It is imperative that we do not take lightly the price of our salvation or the incredible freedom that Christ has given us.
God has given Christians clear guidelines for living a godly life in this church era through Peter, Paul, and the other writers of the New Testament. Each of His blood-bought children is judged by Him according to their work and words, regardless of whether they are carried out in the flesh or in the spirit. For all that He has done for us during our sojourn on earth, we should conduct ourselves with reverence and gratitude.
