The correct fear of God is mentioned a lot of times in the bible especially in proverbs, and is associated with most, if not all, the attributes required by God for salvation.

Prov 1 v 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. But fools despise wisdom and instruction

We have to learn to understand the fear of God. The fear of the lord is linked with the knowledge of God. 

Isa 29 v 13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 

Prov. 3 v 7 Be not wise in your own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 

Fear the Lord and hate evil.

Prov 8 v 13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

This is an interesting verse, knowledge of the holy, we must know God, who He is and who Christ is.

Prov 9 v 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

If we fear God, we will have our days prolonged

Pro 10:27  The fear of Jehovah prolongs days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 

Those who fear the Lord will tremble at the presence of  God. Look at the display of His power, can the sea take over from the shore?  God has set the boundary.

Jer 5:22  Do you not fear Me? says Jehovah. Will you not tremble at My presence, I who have placed the sand for the boundary of the sea by a never-ending decree, so that it cannot pass it? And though they toss themselves, yet they cannot prevail; though its waves roar, yet they cannot pass over it? 

Jer 33 v 9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

We need to fear God, this fear is to be in awe of the great God and to reverence His very name. Those who fear God will tremble at the mighty power of our Creator. This fear will come from studying the bible and believing and obeying God. The correct fear of God cannot be feigned, it will come as we put our whole life into Gods way of life.

There is an incorrect fear which will help to put us into the lake of fire. It is imperative that we understand this fear and overcome it if it grips us.

Rev 21:8  But the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the Lake burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. 

This fear is tied in with some terrible sins and the end result is the lake of fire. 

Fear is linked with lack of faith.

Mar 4:40  And He said to them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? 

Fear is matched with wickedness and slothfulness. Read the parable of the talents in Matt. 25 v 14 to 30. Especially verses 25 and 26. This person did nothing with the talent God gave him. He feared to push ahead

Just as the Israelites feared to go into the promised land so a fearful person will fear to follow God to eternal life. Remember the firstfruits are those who follow Christ where ever he leads. Rev. 14 v 4. If we have been fearful about obeying God we can repent. 

There are two types of  ‘fear of God’

One fear is to stand in awe of our creator. This fear will cause us to tremble at the very power of God as revealed in the bible. The correct fear of God will help us to believe the bible and obey God, regardless of the physical consequences. With the fear of God we will fear not what man can do.

The other fear is the exact opposite, this fear will keep us from entering Gods kingdom. This fear stops us from believing Gods word It must be repented of.

We must not fear to fear God. If God be for us who can be against us. Fear not what man can do.

Stand in awe and revere the Great God. This is the correct fear of God.
