How do we know the fear of the Lord is essential for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord is foundational for wisdom and leads to a deeper understanding of God and His ways.

The fear of the Lord is essential for Christians because it is the beginning of wisdom, as declared in Psalm 111:10. This fear lays the foundation for a proper relationship with God, helping us to understand both His holiness and love. It also cultivates a heart that respects and reverences God’s Word, allowing believers to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord. The presence of the fear of the Lord in the believer's heart is an indication of God's transforming grace, which enables them to depart from the snares of death and walk in the assurance of eternal life through the gospel.
