How does a person come to have the fear of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

A person typically comes to have the fear of the Lord through the preaching of the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.

The fear of the Lord often arises as individuals are confronted with the truth of the gospel, which reveals their sinful condition and need for a Savior. As described in the sermon, this transformational process occurs when the Holy Spirit opens the hearts and minds of individuals to comprehend their true nature and the holiness of God. As they hear the gospel and respond in faith, this fear becomes evident in a new reverence for God, a desire to avoid sin, and a commitment to live in accordance with His will. This is not merely an emotional experience, but a profound change of heart that aligns one's life with God's purpose.
