Why is the fear of God considered a gift?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of God is a gift from God that enables individuals to revere Him and depend on His grace.

The fear of God is not merely a natural emotional response; it is a divine gift that allows individuals to truly honor and reverence God. As indicated in Jeremiah 32:40, God promises to put His fear in the hearts of His people so that they will not depart from Him. This fear grants believers the insight to understand the holiness of God and the consequences of sin while highlighting the comfort found in His grace. It is through this fear that believers are empowered to love God more genuinely and follow Him faithfully.
