Reference: Fear of the Lord the
Easton
(3.) is in the Old Testament used as a designation of true piety (Pr 1:7; Job 28:28; Ps 19:9). It is a fear conjoined with love and hope, and is therefore not a slavish dread, but rather filial reverence. (Comp. De 32:6; Ho 11:1; Isa 1:2; 63:16; 64:8.) God is called "the Fear of Isaac" (Ge 31:42,53), i.e., the God whom Isaac feared.
(4.) A holy fear is enjoined also in the New Testament as a preventive of carelessness in religion, and as an incentive to penitence (Mt 10:28; 2Co 5:11; 7:1; Php 2:12; Eph 5:21; Heb 12:28-29).
