Why is the fear of God a sign of true religion?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of God is a hallmark of true religion as it distinguishes those who honor God from those who do not, guiding their actions and decisions.

In the context of biblical teachings, the fear of God is inherently linked to one's spiritual condition and relationship with Him. The absence of fear is indicative of rebellion and a lack of true reverence toward God, as noted in Romans 3:18. Conversely, those who fear God are characterized as faithful worshipers, like Job, who is described as 'one that fears God' (Job 1:8). This fear manifests in both worship and an aversion to sin. The congregation's acknowledgment of God’s authority and holiness translates into a living faith, showcasing that the fear of God is not merely an emotion but a vital component of true religious experience.
