What is sanctified fear, and how does it help Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Sanctified fear is the reverent awe of God that encourages believers to live righteously and faithfully.

Sanctified fear refers to a deep reverence for God that influences believers to live in obedience and humility. This type of fear recognizes God's holiness and wrath, prompting us to seek His mercy and live according to His will. Hebrews 10:31 cautions, 'It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God,' reminding us of God's judgment. This awareness compels us to hold fast to our faith and to encourage one another to remain steadfast, as seen in Hebrews 3:12. By cultivating a sanctified fear, Christians nurture their spiritual life and avoid the pitfalls of sin and apostasy.
