from Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan"True or right fear is discovered by three things:
1. By it's rise - it is caused by saving convictions for sin.
2. It driveth the soul to lay fast hold of Christ for salvation.
3. It begetteth and continueth in the soul a great reverence of God, his word and ways, keeping it tender and making it afraid to turn from them to the right hand or to the left, to anything that may dishonor God, break it's peace, grieve the Spirit, or cause the enenmy to speak reproachfully."
