It encompasses a deep sense of honor and veneration that is due to the Creator and is reflected in worship, obedience, and the fear of the Lord. Reverence is not merely an outward expression but an inward attitude of the heart that acknowledges God's supreme authority and holiness. Biblical Foundation: Reverence is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing the appropriate response of humanity to the divine majesty of God. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "reverence" is "yare," which is also rendered as "fear" in many contexts. This fear is not about terror but a respectful acknowledgment of God's power and righteousness. Key Scriptures: 1. Reverence for God: · <a href="/psalms/89-7.htm">Psalm 89:7</a> : "In the council of the holy ones, God is greatly feared, and awesome above all who surround Him." · <a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a> : "Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." 2. Reverence in Worship: · <a href="/psalms/5-7.htm">Psalm 5:7</a> : "But I will enter Your house by the abundance of Your loving devotion; in reverence I will bow down toward Your holy temple." · <a href="/ecclesiastes/5.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:1</a> : "Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do wrong." 3. Reverence for God's Name and Word: · <a href="/psalms/111-9.htm">Psalm 111:9</a> : "He has sent redemption to His people; He has ordained His covenant forever; holy and awesome is His name." · <a href="/isaiah/66-2.htm">Isaiah 66:2</a> : "Has not My hand made all these things, and so they came into being? declares the LORD. This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word." 4. Reverence in Conduct and Relationships: · <a href="/ephesians/5-21.htm">Ephesians 5:21</a> : "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." · <a href="/1_peter/3-15.htm">1 Peter 3:15</a> : "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect." Theological Significance: Reverence is integral to the believer's relationship with God. It is the foundation of true worship and obedience, reflecting a heart that is aligned with God's will. Reverence for God leads to a life that honors Him in all aspects, recognizing His sovereignty and responding with humility and submission. Practical Application: Believers are called to cultivate a lifestyle of reverence, which includes regular worship, prayer, and meditation on God's Word. Reverence should permeate all areas of life, influencing how one interacts with others, makes decisions, and conducts oneself in the world. It is a reminder of the holiness of God and the call to live in a manner worthy of His calling.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (n.) Profound respect and esteem mingled with fear and affection, as for a holy being or place; the disposition to revere; veneration.2. (n.) The act of revering; a token of respect or veneration; an obeisance.3. (n.) That which deserves or exacts manifestations of reverence; reverend character; dignity; state.4. (n.) A person entitled to be revered; -- a title applied to priests or other ministers with the pronouns his or your; sometimes poetically to a father.5. (v. t.)

The root idea of the former is "fear." It is used to express the attitude toward God Himself, as in <a href="/psalms/89-7.htm">Psalm 89:7</a> the King James Version; or toward His sanctuary, as in <a href="/leviticus/19-30.htm">Leviticus 19:30</a>; <a href="/leviticus/26-2.htm">Leviticus 26:2</a>. So the group of ideas there would be "fear," "awe," "reverence." The root idea of the second is "falling down," as prostration of the body. It is used to express the bearing toward another who is considered superior, as in <a href="/2_samuel/9-6.htm">2 Samuel 9:6</a> the King James Version; <a href="/1_kings/1-31.htm">1 Kings 1:31</a> the King James Version; <a href="/esther/3-2.htm">Esther 3:2, 5</a>. The group of ideas here, therefore, is "honor," "obeisance," "reverence." In the New Testament "reverence" occurs as the translation of three Greek words, aidos, phobeomai, and entrepomai. In the first, the idea is "modesty" (<a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a>; compare <a href="/1_timothy/2-9.htm">1 Timothy 2:9</a>). In the second, "fear" (<a href="/ephesians/5-33.htm">Ephesians 5:33</a> the King James Version), though here it is used to set forth the attitude of proper subjection on the part of a wife toward her husband (compare <a href="/1_peter/3-2.htm">1 Peter 3:2, 5</a>). In the third, the idea is that of the "self-valuation of inferiority," and so sets forth an attitude toward another of doing him honor (<a href="/matthew/21-37.htm">Matthew 21:37</a> <a href="/mark/12-6.htm">Mark 12:6</a> <a href="/luke/20-13.htm">Luke 20:13</a> <a href="/hebrews/12-9.htm">Hebrews 12:9</a>). In the Apocrypha entrepomai occurs in The Wisdom of Solomon 2:10; Sirach 4:22. In addition, proskuneo, "make obeisance," occurs in Judith 10:23; 14:07; thaumazo, "wonder," Sirach 7:29, and aischunomai, "be ashamed," Baruch 4:15. "Reverend" occurs in the Old Testament in <a href="/psalms/111-9.htm">Psalm 111:9</a>, of the name of God (yare'), and in the Apocrypha in 2 Maccabees 15:12, "a man reverend (aidemon, "modest") in bearing," and in the New Testament the Revised Version (British and American) has "reverent in demeanor" (hieroprepes) in <a href="/titus/2-3.htm">Titus 2:3</a> and "reverend" in <a href="/philippians/4-8.htm">Philippians 4:8</a> margin (semnos).
