From CrossCulture's "Scripture in Today's Language"
Most modern gospel preachers mis-define the FEAR of God as simply reverence, awe or respect for God.
In attempting to positively flavor the gospel, they actually expose their blatant violation of simple hermeneutics, the derivation of meaning based on the original tongue and context.
Hebrew words:
yare' - verb form
yi'rah - noun or adjective form
PHOBIA - Greek translation in the LXX, sounds familiar???
Isaiah 8:13 - means "dread"
Isaiah 19:16 - to the point that we "tremble"
Jeremiah 5:22 - involves "trembling"
Psalm 55:5 - all 3 words to yi'rah
Definition:
Dread that God is displeased with you or "fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12b) when you displease God, or when your life displeases God.
Kingdom children should dread when they know they violate God and his standards.
The God who blesses is also the SAME God who CURSES even his own chosen people! (Deuteronomy 27 to 29)
Duty of Man: Eccl 12:13 - Talk about the "chief end of man" according to Solomon
It is a good thing: Psalm 86:11
Blessings of Fear of God
Psalm 19:19 - fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever
Psaml 25:12, 14 - instruction/guidance/direction,
Psalm 33:18 - friendship/covenant relationship
Psalm 34:7, 9 - deliverance/protection, all needs supplied
Psalm 60:4,5 - banner/direction/anchor for deliverance and salvation
Psalm 85:9 - salvation and the Presence of God
Psalm 103:11, 13. 17 - steadfast love, compassion, unfailing love
Psalm 111:5, 10 - provisions, faithfulness to covenant
Psalm 145:19 - fulfills desire, hears prayers, saves/delivers
Psalm 147:11 - the PLEASURE of God
Prov 1:7
Prov 9:10
Prov 10:27
Prov 14:26, 27
Prov 15:16, 33
Prov 16:6
