Why should believers fear the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Believers should fear the Lord as an acknowledgment of His holiness and authority, leading to faithful service.

The fear of the Lord is defined not as mere terror but as a profound respect and reverence for God's holiness and authority. In 1 Samuel 12:14, Samuel emphasizes, 'If you will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice... then shall both ye, and also the king that reigneth over you, continue following the Lord your God.' This encapsulates the essence of true worship and service. By recognizing God's sovereignty and the righteousness of His judgments, believers are motivated to cultivate a lifestyle of obedience and faithful service. Such fear leads to blessings and protection in our walk with God.
