What does knowing the terror of the Lord mean for believers?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing the terror of the Lord prompts believers to reverently persuade others to seek reconciliation with God.

In 2 Corinthians 5:11, Paul states that knowing the terror of the Lord compels us to persuade others regarding the gospel. This 'terror' refers to the righteous judgment and holiness of God, which causes an understanding of the weight of sin and the necessity of repentance. It serves as a profound motivator for evangelism, driving believers to share the good news of Christ’s sacrificial work and the call to be reconciled with God. This acknowledgment fosters humility among Christians, reminding them that their salvation is an act of grace, and motivates them to live out their faith authentically and passionately.
