Fear of God does not mean being shaken in trembling fear of God. It is not about being afraid that God will punish us excessively whenever we make mistakes or disobey Him.
Fear of God does NOT mean that we are under dominion control of the Almighty God, because it is not like that at all! God loves us and gives us freedom of choice.
According to Oxford Dictionary, “revere” means “feel deep respect or admiration over something.”
“Reverend Fear of God” means having deep respect and admiration of God because He is worthy of adoration or reverence.
Therefore, in everything that we do, we should fear the Lord, not because we are afraid to be punished or not getting blessed; but because God deserves to our deep respect and admiration for who He is.
“How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, Who walks in His ways. When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within your house, Your children like olive plants around your table. “
Psalm 128:1-4
