Why is the fear of the Lord significant for understanding Jesus' character?

Answered in 1 source

The fear of the Lord is significant as it highlights Jesus' deep reverence for God and obedience to His will.

The fear of the Lord characterizes Jesus' relationship with the Father, demonstrating profound reverence and submission to divine will. Isaiah 11:3 points out that Christ will delight in the fear of the Lord, emphasizing not only His obedience but also His understanding of God's holiness. This fear is not servile but refers to a deep respect and love for God, which drove Jesus to fulfill His mission. It contrasts with humanity's failure to uphold God's commands, highlighting the perfection of Christ's character and His role as the ideal Savior.
