The fear of the Lord, like the fear of people, includes a spectrum of attitudes. On one side, the threat of the Lord does indeed mean a terror of God (threat-fear). We are unclean people, and we appear before the almighty God who is morally pure… Such fear shrinks back from God. It wants to avoid him as much as possible.
At the other end of the spectrum is a fear reserved exclusively for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ. This fear of the Lord means reverent submission that leads to obedience, and it is interchangeable with “worship,” “rely on,” “trust,” and “hope in.”
