The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
The key verse of proverbs, the secret of life eternal, the secret of living a life here and now is to seek to please God.
Jesus told us Who to fear. He said:4“But I tell you, my friends, never be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can’t do anything more. 5I’ll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the authority to throw you into helld after killing you. Yes, I tell you, be afraid of him! (Luke 12:4,5 ISV
What do I think is even greater? Love God. …36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37And He (Jesus) said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' 38"This is the great and foremost commandment.… (Mt. 22)
