How do we know that fearing God is important?

Answered in 2 sources

Fearing God is crucial as it encapsulates the whole duty of man according to Ecclesiastes 12:13.

In Ecclesiastes 12:13, the conclusion of the preacher's reflections declares that fearing God and keeping His commandments is the essence of our duty. This fear is not to be understood as mere dread but rather a profound reverence and respect for God's holiness and sovereignty. Such fear leads us to wise living, recognizing that our actions have moral significance in light of God's judgment, as He will bring every deed to light in the final day. This perspective instills a deep accountability, urging believers to live under the authority of God's word.
