It is not a fear that leads to terror or dread but rather a deep respect and acknowledgment of God's power and righteousness. This fear is foundational to a believer's relationship with God and is essential for true worship and service.<br><br><b>Biblical Basis for Godly Fear</b><br><br>The Bible consistently emphasizes the importance of godly fear in the life of a believer. <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 that godly fear is the starting point for acquiring wisdom and understanding, essential qualities for serving God effectively.<br><br>In <a href="/ecclesiastes/12-13.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:13</a>, the Preacher concludes, "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." This underscores that fearing God is not only foundational but also a duty for all people, guiding them to live in obedience to His commandments.<br><br><b>Godly Fear in the Old Testament</b><br><br>The Old Testament provides numerous examples of individuals who demonstrated godly fear. Abraham, when tested by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, exhibited profound reverence and obedience, which God acknowledged in <a href="/genesis/22-12.htm">Genesis 22:12</a>: "Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him," said the angel, "for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from Me."<br><br>The Israelites were also instructed to fear the Lord as part of their covenant relationship with Him. <a href="/deuteronomy/10-12.htm">Deuteronomy 10:12-13</a> commands, "And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?"<br><br><b>Godly Fear in the New Testament</b><br><br>The New Testament continues to affirm the necessity of godly fear. In <a href="/acts/9-31.htm">Acts 9:31</a>, the early church is described as "walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit," which contributed to its growth and strength. This indicates that godly fear was integral to the life and expansion of the early Christian community.<br><br>The Apostle Paul, in <a href="/philippians/2-12.htm">Philippians 2:12</a>, exhorts believers to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling." This call to action reflects a reverent acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the seriousness of living a life that honors Him.<br><br><b>The Role of Godly Fear in Service to God</b><br><br>Godly fear is crucial for effective service to God, as it cultivates humility, obedience, and a desire to honor Him above all else. It motivates believers to live righteously and to serve God with sincerity and dedication. <a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28-29</a> encourages believers, "Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe. For our God is a consuming fire."<br><br>This reverence ensures that service to God is not performed out of mere obligation or ritual but from a heart that truly seeks to glorify Him. Godly fear aligns the believer's priorities with God's will, fostering a life of holiness and devotion.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While godly fear is a profound and complex concept, it remains a central tenet of the Christian faith, guiding believers in their worship, obedience, and service to God. Through godly fear, believers are drawn closer to God, equipped to serve Him faithfully and effectively.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/psalms/2-11.htm">Psalm 2:11</a></span><br>Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a></span><br>Why we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/lee/sermons_on_various_important_subjects/sermon_xx_the_fear_which.htm"><span class="l">The <b>Fear</b> which Terminates in the Second Death.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> But if we <b>fear</b> to enter the lists against our spiritual enemies <b>...</b> Much culture is<br> <b>necessary</b> to man's attaining his proper rank in <b>...</b> That he might seek a <b>godly</b> seed <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../lee/sermons on various important subjects/sermon xx the fear which.htm</font><p><a href="/library/newman/parochial_and_plain_sermons_vol_viii/sermon_i_reverence_in_worship.htm"><span class="l">Reverence in Worship.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> dress, and the like"are considered as <b>necessary</b> for a <b>...</b> "with reverence and <b>godly fear</b>,"<br> as St. <b>...</b> to rouse or interest them."
