What does the Bible say about fear and reverence in worship?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches us to approach God with fear and reverence, recognizing His holiness and the seriousness of worship.

In Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, Solomon instructs us to 'keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God.' This means we should approach God with a sense of seriousness and humility, understanding that we are in the presence of the holy God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), which underscores the importance of reverent worship, acknowledging both His holiness and our own sinfulness. We must guard our hearts and conduct when coming before Him, as He observes our worship and intentions.
