In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of understanding that God operates by order and structure. He uses the example of the law of gravity to illustrate that just as gravity works consistently everywhere, God's laws and order are constant and unchanging. The preacher also addresses the misconception that God is caught by surprise or makes decisions on a whim. He highlights that God is a God of order and structure, as seen in the creation account and the establishment of the Sabbath. The sermon concludes with a reminder from the book of Revelation that adding or taking away from God's Word has serious consequences.

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the importance of being sensitive to God's warnings, as exemplified by King Josiah, who humbled himself and trembled at God's Word. Spurgeon highlights that those who possess a tender heart and practice self-humiliation will be spared from impending judgment, as God marks those who mourn over the sins of their nation. He reassures believers that even in times of great threat and infidelity, they can find peace in God's promise of protection and eventual deliverance. The sermon calls for introspection on whether one has this godly fear and sensitivity to divine warnings.

David Wilkerson emphasizes the distinction between fleshly fear and reverential awe of God, urging believers to recognize the power of God's judgments rather than succumbing to anxiety about worldly troubles. He cites examples from the Bible, such as Noah, David, and Habakkuk, who experienced a holy fear that stemmed from their understanding of God's holiness and righteousness. Wilkerson warns against the sinful fear of losing material possessions and encourages believers to place their trust in God, who should be their ultimate source of fear and awe. He reminds us that true fear of the Lord leads to life, not death, and calls for a shift in focus from worldly fears to a deep reverence for God.

Jonathan Edwards discusses the effects of affections on the body, emphasizing that all affections, whether spiritual or not, have some impact on the body due to the close connection between the soul and body. He argues that great effects on the body do not necessarily indicate spiritual affections, as strong emotions can also arise from temporal or natural sources. Edwards challenges the notion that high spiritual affections cannot have a significant effect on the body, pointing out that divine revelations of God's glory can overwhelm the physical frame. He highlights biblical examples where intense religious affections led to bodily manifestations, suggesting that such bodily effects can be a sign of genuine spiritual experiences.
