Who is to Fear the LORD*? It is not to be done by believers because He is the most Loving Father ever for those who believe in Him. Those who do not believe and worship him need to have fear as expressed by Y’shua:
Luke 12:4. “But I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after these things they do not have anything more they can do. 5. But I shall show you something you should Fear: you must now Fear the One Who after He kills has authority to throw you into Gehenna. Indeed I say to you, you must now fear Him! 6. Are not five sparrows sold for two assarions? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God. 7. But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. You must not be afraid: you are worth more than many sparrows.”
