How do we know that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that fear of the Lord is fundamental to gaining knowledge and wisdom, as seen in Proverbs.

Proverbs consistently teaches that the fear of the Lord is foundational to true wisdom and knowledge. In Proverbs 1:7, it is declared that 'the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.' This means that a proper reverence and respect for God leads individuals to understand and apply wisdom in their lives. The fear of the Lord acts as a restraining influence against sin, guiding believers in their choices and leading them toward righteousness. It is this awe and respect that prepares the heart to receive divine wisdom and instruction, allowing one to recognize and heed the voice of wisdom.
