What is the significance of fearing God according to Amos?

Answered in 1 source

Fearing God is a proper response to His authority and holiness.

The fear of God is portrayed in Amos as an essential attitude that acknowledges His power and holiness. In Amos 3:8, the roaring lion symbolizes God's message that commands respect and awe. This fear is not merely being afraid; instead, it signifies a deep reverence for God's authority and a recognition of our accountability to Him. Such fear promotes a godly living characterized by obedience and humility, urging believers to respond appropriately to the truths laid out in God's Word.
