What does it mean to fear the Lord? Should you be afraid of Him?

To fear the Lord, is to have a good understanding of him, to fear the Lord, is to reverence him, to put nothing and no one else before him, to honor him with your substance, the fear of the Lord is to stand in awe of his loving-kindness. The more we study God’s word, the more we will fear him, then we will begin to get wisdom, and as we continue to study his word, we will understand his commandments and do them. Praise the Lord!
