How do we know we need the fear of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

We need the fear of the Lord because it reveals our true sinful state and guides us towards seeking mercy (Psalm 9:20).

The necessity of the fear of the Lord stems from a proper understanding of our sinfulness and God's holiness. Psalm 9:20 encourages God to instill fear in our hearts so we may realize our insignificance without Him. Acknowledging this fear prompts individuals to seek mercy from God, as it convicts us of our unworthiness and leads to a heartfelt recognition that we need His grace. Genuine fear of the Lord aligns our hearts with His righteousness and acknowledges our desperate need for His mercy and forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice.
