How does one develop the fear of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord develops through hearing and learning the Word of God (Deuteronomy 31:10-13).

The fear of the Lord is cultivated through the faithful teaching and preaching of God's Word. As individuals hear the truth about God's character—His holiness, justice, and love—they come to know Him rightly, which forms a proper fear in their hearts. Deuteronomy 31:10-13 emphasizes the necessity of gathering to hear God's Law, which serves to cultivate fear and reverence in the hearts of the people. This learning process solidifies one’s understanding of who God is and leads to a genuine respect that transforms behavior and attitudes towards sin and righteousness.
