How do we know the necessity of fearing God?

Answered in 1 source

Fearing God is essential for salvation, spiritual growth, and true worship, as outlined in Proverbs 1:7 and supported by multiple scriptures.

The necessity of fearing God is emphasized throughout Scripture. Proverbs 1:7 asserts that without the fear of the Lord, true knowledge is unattainable. This fear is not an optional aspect of our faith; rather, it is vital for various dimensions of the Christian life. For instance, Matthew 10:28 instructs believers to 'fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell,' indicating that reverence for God is foundational to salvation. Furthermore, 2 Corinthians 7:1 states that we are to purify ourselves in the fear of God, affirming that spiritual growth is contingent upon our reverence for Him. Thus, the fear of God undergirds our understanding of His holiness and authority, guiding our relationship with Him.
