The fear of God is not simply being afraid of Him, but recognising His holiness, greatness, authority and love, and responding with reverence, humility, trust and obedience. Scripture teaches that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and leads to life.
It turns us away from evil, draws us towards God, and teaches us to take His Word seriously. Through Christ, we can approach the holy God as our loving Father, holding together both deep reverence and confident trust.
