In the old testament the people of God were often commanded to fear the Lord, but what does this mean? Fear of the Lord is not a dread that God is someone to be scared of, but it is an appreciation for his awesomeness that allows us to look upon him with reverence and admiration. It is only when we know the fear of the Lord that we will walk in complete obedience to his words.
