The Fear of God (Monergism)

The Fear of God

"To this man will I [the Lord] look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word" (Isa. 66:2).

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Prov. 1:7).

"Man is never sufficiently touched and affected by the awareness of his lowly state until he has compared himself with God's majesty." John Calvin

"Fear of the Lord" entails ...an emotional response of fear, love and trust. The unified psychological poles of fear and love come prominently to the fore in the surprisingly uniform way Deuteronomy treats "love of the Lord" and "fear of the Lord" (cf. 5:29 with 6:2, and 6:5 with Josh. 24:14; cf. 10:12, 20; 13:5). In Isaiah 29:13 Israel's distorted "fear of me" is rejected precisely because it is made up only of rules taught by men. According to Proverbs 2:1-5, "the fear of the Lord" is found through heartfelt prayer and diligent seeking for the sage's words. In 15:33, "humility" and "fear of the Lord" are parallel terms, and in 22:4 "humility" is defined as "the fear of the Lord sort." - Bruce K. Waltke from The Book of Proverbs Volume 1, pg. 101
