Nothing could be more significant than that the fear of the Lord should be coupled with the comfort of the Holy Spirit as the characteristics of the New Testament church: So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and, going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

In other words, this is the essence of the secret, that Jehovah Himself will supernaturally reveal to us the true knowledge of His covenant in all its manifold manifestations and its gracious provisions which are for the achieving of their holiness and joy in living out their salvation. In a word, this is the door to abundant life in Christ (John 10:10).
