Why is the fear of God important?

Answered in 2 sources

The fear of God is important as it forms the foundation for observing justice and righteousness among people.

Calvin indicates that without the fear of God, no one observes justice among themselves. The fear of God instills a sense of accountability and reverence that compels individuals to act justly toward others. It serves not only to establish personal moral standards but also to cultivate a society rooted in biblical principles. This foundational fear fosters community integrity and sets the stage for societal flourishing anchored in God's truth and righteousness.
Scripture References: Proverbs 9:10, Daniel 2:18-19
