Reverence is feeling the “weight” of God in every part of our life and mind.
The word “glory”, as in the Glory of God in the Old Testament, is actually the word “heaviness”. God is so great, and those who reverence Him feel the weight of His holiness and glory. God is looking for believers who will revere Him, reverence Him, and live a life that shows the glory or weightiness of God, touching and affecting every part of their life.
Open to Titus 2, we are in the midst of an intense study of what God wants in men. In Titus 2:2, God starts with the older (50+ year old men) and gives them six indicators of the spiritual maturity He wants and uses. These six choices are possible when we ask and surrender to God’s grace. That surrendered obedience is called a grace-energized life.
God asks men who want to serve Him to be reverent, serious enough about God to do what pleases Him and abstain from what does not please Him. As we see, the Word of God is clear, the Lord has revealed His desires, and there is no mystery about what he expects.
