Scripture Reference: Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV (Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man)
King Solomon who was a wise and wealthy man in the world during his time wrote about the fear of God. King Solomon after being successful in his life and kingdom he learnt that the most important thing is to fear God. King Solomon did not fear God, he had one thousand women who turn his heart from following the true and living God. King Solomon lifestyle was terribly wrong and worst.Finally, King Solomon came to his senses and realized the greatest requirement of God to man is to fear God and keep his commandments.
The fear of God, what is it? It is the reverential fear of God. God is worth of respect. The reason why the Holy Bible was written is so that people may learn to fear God and keep his commandments. In Old Testament, the kings appointed to serve the nation were required to have a copy of God's book in order to learn to fear God and keep his commandments. The Apostle Peter said four things in 1 Peter 2:17, honour all people, love the brethren, FEAR GOD and honour the king (head of the state and/or government).
