Why would a loving God <em>want<\/em> me to be afraid of Him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a lot of us, fear is something negative; something we try to avoid. We fear danger, pain, loss\u2026 which we view as negative experiences. So when the Bible tells us, <em>\u2018The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,\u2019<\/em> that sounds kinda confusing. Why would a loving God want us to fear Him?<\/p>\n<p>The problem is we don\u2019t have a proper understanding of what fear is. We think of fear as unhealthy and something that should be avoided. But there\u2019s more than one kind of fear, and not all fear is bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019re going to break it all down. What does the Bible actually mean when it says to <em>fear the Lord<\/em>? Why is it a good thing? And what does it look like in our lives today? <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What Does It Mean to Fear God?

Because each of us bring our own understanding of fear to the table. This can make it difficult for us to fully understand what it means to fear God.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The problem is in western culture we tend to only view fear as one thing, but in reality, there are multiple kinds of fear. And the Biblical definition of fearing God is different from how many of us think of fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Martin Luther made a distinction between the different kinds of fear that I think is helpful. He made a distinction between what he called a servile fear and a filial fear.<\/p>\n<p>Servile fear is the fear that we often think of. It\u2019s the fearing of looming danger or impending torture\/pain. Think of how a slave would fear their master that beats them for each indiscretion.<\/p>\n<p>Servile fear leads someone to obey a master, not out of love, but out of fear and control.<\/p>\n<p>Filial fear is much different. Think of a child who has tremendous respect and love for his father. He sees how much bigger and wiser his father is, and he doesn\u2019t want to disappoint him\u2014not out of fear of punishment, but because he loves him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when he does disobey he finds grace and restoration, not condemnation. Which further drives the respect he has for his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s filial fear that we are called to have for God. To fear God is to take the posture of that child. It means that we have awe and respect toward the majesty God. Not because we fear He\u2019s going to torture us if we don\u2019t. Rather, because we recognize who He is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, let\u2019s look at what it means to fear God according to the Bible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What The Bible Says About Fear Of The Lord\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So what does the Bible actually say about fearing God? A lot, actually.<\/p>\n<p>In Proverbs and Psalms, we\u2019re told over and over that <em>\u201cthe fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom\u201d<\/em> (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10; Psalm 111:10). It\u2019s where knowledge and understanding start\u2014not with self-confidence, not with education, but with a right view of who God is.<\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, Scripture also tells us that those who reject God don\u2019t fear Him at all. Psalm 36 describes the wicked this way: <em>\u201cThere is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d<\/em> In other words, they live like God doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Then in the New Testament, Jesus makes a pretty intense statement. He tells His disciples not to fear people who can harm their bodies, but to fear the One who holds eternal authority (Matthew 10:28). <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not about being terrified of God, it\u2019s about recognizing that He\u2019s holy, just, and ultimately in charge.<\/p>\n<p>And it doesn\u2019t stop there. Acts 9:31 says the early church walked <em>in the fear of the Lord<\/em> and as a result, it grew and was strengthened.<\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s the point: The Bible is clear, <strong>fearing God is a good thing<\/strong>. It\u2019s not just encouraged; it\u2019s essential. It marks the lives of those who trust Him, and it leads to a deeper, wiser, more grounded way of living.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, we\u2019re not talking about servile fear. This isn\u2019t fear of a cruel master. This is <strong>filial<\/strong> <strong>fear<\/strong>, a deep respect, a sense of awe, a love that says, <em>\u201cGod, I don\u2019t want to go my own way\u2014I want to honor You.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why We Should Fear God<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen that God\u2019s word talks a lot about the fear of the Lord. And that it leads to a blessed life. Let\u2019s look at why we should fear God. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. The Beginning Of Knowledge And Wisdom<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><em>The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Many of the passages about fearing God are found in the book of Proverbs. This book centers around wise things that we should do and unwise things to avoid. This book starts off in the first few verses that we should fear God (Proverbs 1:7). The result if we do? A sound mind and knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Proverbs tells us that the beginning of knowledge and the beginning of wisdom is found in the fear of the Lord.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. It Shows Our Awe Of Him\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Too often it becomes commonplace that the creator of the universe cares for us. He\u2019s walked in our shoes, experienced our life, and died on the cross for us. We often take that for granted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To fear God is to show respect. It\u2019s to take a step back and understand how big and powerful he is. Like a young child that looks at his father in awe of how powerful he is. We look at our heavenly father in awe because of how big he is and yet how much he cares.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Leads To Life\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Bible calls the fear of the Lord the fountain of life and claims that it leads us to an abundant life (Proverbs 14:27 and Proverbs 19:23).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We often think the good life is found when we can do whatever we want. When we gain more for ourselves. But that kind of life has robbed many. The Bible teaches us a different way to live, a way that leads to the life we are actually after. And it starts with fearing God.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. It\u2019s Worship\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To worship is to give and show worth to something. A proper fear of the Lord is worship. It means that we are showing God that he is worthy.\u00a0Worship expresses our gratitude for God. It places him in the proper place in our lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 31:19 says those who fear God take refuge in him. God is pictured as a father taking care of his children. He\u2019s protecting them from what can harm them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Again, we cannot forget that Godly fear is filial fear. As a child looks on in respect towards their father, the father protects his children. It is the same with our father in heaven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Does It Mean To Fear God In Our Lives Today?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So what does it actually look like to fear God in our everyday lives?<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re not just talking about a feeling. Fearing God is a posture\u2014it\u2019s about how we live, how we think, how we respond to Him. It\u2019s recognizing who He is and letting that shape everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you a few ways that plays out:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to approach Him with awe and reverence.<\/strong> (Hebrews 12:28\u201329)<br \/>We don\u2019t treat God casually. We recognize His holiness and respond with worship, gratitude, and humility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to represent Him well.<\/strong> (2 Corinthians 5:20)<br \/>When we fear God, we take seriously the role we\u2019ve been given\u2014as ambassadors of His kingdom. We live with integrity, because we represent Someone greater than ourselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to trust His wisdom over our own.<\/strong> (1 Peter 1:24\u201325)<br \/>Even when we don\u2019t understand everything, we follow His ways because we believe He knows what\u2019s best.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to submit to His authority.<\/strong><br \/>Not just in theory, but in how we make decisions, handle relationships, spend money, and treat people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to take sin seriously.<\/strong> (Romans 7:13)<br \/>We don\u2019t excuse it or downplay it. We acknowledge the damage it causes and the grace we need to overcome it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>To fear God is to find our identity in Him.<\/strong><br \/>Not in what we\u2019ve accomplished, what others think, or how we feel, but in who He says we are.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s what a healthy fear of God looks like. It\u2019s not fear of punishment\u2014it\u2019s a response of love, reverence, and surrender.<\/p>\n<p>Like Deuteronomy 10:12-13 says:<em> \u201cAnd now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When we live with that kind of fear we\u2019re not crushed under God\u2019s authority. We actually find freedom and joy inside His boundaries. It\u2019s the kind of fear that draws us closer, not pushes us away.<\/p>\n<p>Author William D. Eisenhower puts it like this: <em>\u201cGod poses an ominous threat to my ego, but not to me. He rescues me from my delusions so that He may reveal the truth that sets me free\u2026 Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but the perfect love from the Lord is its completion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, what does it mean to fear God? It means we love Him, trust Him, submit to Him\u2014even when we don\u2019t fully understand. It means we place Him above everything and everyone else. And when we do, that\u2019s where wisdom begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard someone say \u2018You should fear God\u2019 and thought, wait\u2026 what?
