Proverbs 1 : 7
Different from but related to the fears we often experience is what the scriptures describe as “godly fear” or “the fear of the Lord.” Unlike worldly fear that creates alarm and anxiety, godly fear is a source of peace, assurance, and confidence. Please note that godly fear is linked inextricably to an understanding of the Final Judgment and our individual accountability for our desires, thoughts, words, and acts (see Mosiah 4:30). The fear of the Lord is not a reluctant apprehension about coming into His presence to be judged. I do not believe we will be afraid of Him at all. Rather, it is the prospect in His presence of facing things as they really are about ourselves and having “a perfect knowledge” of all our rationalizations, pretenses, and self-deceptions.
Ultimately, we will be left without excuse.
