This concept is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative and is considered a fundamental aspect of a faithful believer's life.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the fear of the Lord is often associated with wisdom and understanding. <a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a> states, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." This verse highlights the foundational role that reverence for God plays in acquiring true wisdom. The fear of the Lord is not merely an emotion but a profound respect that leads to righteous living.<br><br>The Hebrew word for fear, "yirah," encompasses both awe and reverence. This is evident in the lives of figures such as Abraham, who demonstrated his fear of God through obedience (<a href="/genesis/22-12.htm">Genesis 22:12</a>), and Job, who is described as "blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil" (<a href="/job/1.htm">Job 1:1</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of being God-fearing continues to be significant. <a href="/acts/10-2.htm">Acts 10:2</a> describes Cornelius as "a devout man who feared God with all his household." This fear of God is linked to his piety and generosity, indicating that a God-fearing person is one who actively seeks to live out their faith through actions.<br><br>The Greek term "phobos," used in the New Testament, also conveys a sense of reverence and awe. The Apostle Paul, in <a href="/2_corinthians/7.htm">2 Corinthians 7:1</a> , exhorts believers to "perfect holiness in the fear of God," suggesting that the fear of God is integral to spiritual growth and sanctification.<br><br><b>Characteristics of a God-fearing Person</b><br><br>1. <b>Obedience to God's Commands</b>: A God-fearing individual is committed to following God's laws and commandments. <a href="/deuteronomy/6-2.htm">Deuteronomy 6:2</a> emphasizes the importance of fearing the Lord to keep His statutes and commandments.<br><br>2. <b>Worship and Reverence</b>: Worship is a natural expression of the fear of God. <a href="/psalms/96-9.htm">Psalm 96:9</a> calls believers to "worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth."<br><br>3. <b>Moral Integrity</b>: God-fearing people are characterized by their moral integrity and uprightness. <a href="/proverbs/14-2.htm">Proverbs 14:2</a> states, "He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the devious in his ways despises Him."<br><br>4. <b>Trust in God</b>: A God-fearing person places their trust in God, acknowledging His sovereignty and goodness. <a href="/psalms/115-11.htm">Psalm 115:11</a> encourages, "You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield."<br><br>5. <b>Humility</b>: The fear of God fosters humility, as individuals recognize their dependence on Him. <a href="/isaiah/66-2.htm">Isaiah 66:2</a> declares, "But to this one I will look, to him who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word."<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The fear of God is not a paralyzing dread but a profound respect that leads to a life of holiness and devotion. It is a recognition of God's majesty, power, and authority, prompting believers to live in a manner that honors Him. The God-fearing life is marked by a deep commitment to God's will, resulting in blessings and favor, as seen in <a href="/psalms/128.htm">Psalm 128:1</a> : "Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways."<br><br>In summary, being God-fearing is a central theme in Scripture, reflecting a heart that is aligned with God's purposes and a life that seeks to glorify Him in all things.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Having a reverential and loving feeling towards God; religious.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/2318.htm"><span class="l">2318. theosebes -- <b>God</b>-<b>fearing</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> <b>God</b>-<b>fearing</b>.
