How do we know the fear of God is necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of God is essential for salvation as it reflects a humble heart that recognizes our need for Christ as our only hope.

The fear of God is not just a feeling; it's an essential condition for true salvation. It stems from our recognition of our own sinfulness and our inability to stand before God without Christ. As Psalm 130:4 states, 'There is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.' True understanding of forgiveness comes with a recognition of God's grace, inducing a response of reverence and awe. When we genuinely fear the Lord, we realize that our only plea before God is through the righteousness of Christ, making it clear that our fear stems from knowing His saving grace and mercy.
