神の
主は愛そのものであり、知恵そのものの形で表現されます。それから、愛は彼の本質であり、彼の最深部です。知恵-愛を行動に移す方法についての愛情のある理解-はわずかに外的であり、愛に自分自身を表現する方法を与えます。 聖書が「エホバ」について語るとき、それは主の本質である最も深い愛を表しています。その愛はそれ自体で一つの完全で完全なものであり、エホバもまた一つであり、主にのみ適用される名前です。しかし、知恵は、著作がまとめて神の真実と呼ぶ、非常に多様な思考とアイデアで表現されます。また、多くの想像上の神がいます、そして時々天使と人々は神と呼ばれることができます（主はモーセがアーロンにとって神であると言った）。ですから、聖書が主を「神」と呼ぶとき、ほとんどの場合、それは神の真理を指します。 他の場合、「神」は神の人間と呼ばれるものに言及しています。これがある場合： 人間として、私たちは神の愛として主に直接関わることはできません。強力すぎて純粋すぎます。代わりに、神の真理を通して神を理解することによって、神にアプローチしなければなりません。神の真理は、人間の形の主であり、私たちがアプローチし理解できる形です。したがって、「神」は、この人間的側面に関しても使用されます。なぜなら、それは真実の表現だからです。

恐れ
未知への恐怖」と「変化への恐怖」は、どちらも共通の考えであり、私たちが自然な生活の中で持ちがちな恐怖の広い範囲をカバーしています。ある意味では、聖書の中で人々が「恐れている」と表現されているときの霊的な意味の背後にも、これらの恐れがあります。 書物によると、人々は、より高尚で、より内的な霊的状態が、より低く、より外的な状態と通信してきて、その状態を改革し、昇格させる必要があることを示したときに恐れているように記述されています。それはクリスマスの物語の中の羊飼いの真実であり、天使が全く新しい霊的な時代のことを彼らに伝えるために来たときに最初に恐怖を持って反応します。それは燃える茂みでのモーセ、はしごのビジョンの後のヤコブ、ガリラヤ海の上を歩いているイエスを見た弟子たちにも当てはまります - 高次の状態が彼らに手を差し伸べ、霊的な人生の新しい段階を受け入れるように求めていたすべてのケースで。 これはまた、悪と誤った思考の状態が霊的なものに接触し、自分の惨めさの啓示に脅かされていると感じるとき、より否定的な意味でも保持されています。 聖書はまた、神を恐れる人々についても頻繁に語っています。
