Why is it important to fear God more than man?

Answered in 1 source

Fearing God is crucial because while man can harm the body, only God has the power to affect both body and soul eternally.

The importance of fearing God over man is rooted in the understanding of God's ultimate authority. As expressed in Matthew 10:28, we must recognize that while man can inflict temporary harm, it is God who has the power to cast both body and soul into hell. This truth should lead believers to prioritize obedience to God above all else, regardless of the consequences they might face from society. Moreover, the 'fear of man' can ensnare us, diverting us from our God-given mission, but a genuine fear of God instills a stronger resolve to live righteously and proclaim the truth of Christ, no matter the opposition.
