"The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil." -Proverbs 19:23.
Perhaps one of the biggest things we need to succeed as Christians is the fear of the LORD. This is not a bad fear, but instead the respect one should have for His elders (i.e., parents, teachers, etc.). God loves and cares for His children, and He is not waiting to squash us, but He will correct us when we do what is wrong so we don't hurt ourselves. Knowing that God will not let us get away with things will keep us from many stupid, harmful actions and habits.
