The Fear of the Lord This passage reminds us of the seriousness of sin and the importance of fearing God, who knows all things.

Consequences of Sin Sin has real consequences, both spiritually and within the community. This account serves as a sobering reminder of the cost of dishonesty. God's Omniscience God is all-knowing, and nothing can be hidden from Him. This should encourage us to live truthfully and openly before Him.(8) And Peter answered unto her.--The word does not necessarily imply a previous questioning, but it is probable enough that she came to inquire why her husband had not returned home; perhaps, expecting to find him high in honour.
