Godly fear is the highest reverence for God. To the contrary, tormenting fear is not from God. It is never good, and always evil. It doesn't come from God (2 Timothy 1:7). Yet, the fear of God motivates you through faith in God. "By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark" (Hebrews 11:7).
"And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good, but I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will not depart from Me" (Jeremiah 32:40).
If you fear God, you are saved according to the everlasting covenant of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jeremiah prophesied the everlasting covenant. It is confirmation to you as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:20-21). It means God is working in you what pleases Him. He puts His fear in your heart.
If you fear God, it's evidence of your salvation in Christ. Fearing God is designed for your good and gives you assurance that you will not depart from Him. Godly fear is evidence that God is at work in you. God says, "I will put My fear in their hearts, so that they will not depart from Me" (Jeremiah 32:40).
Do you have the fear of God? Without the fear of God, you are lost without a saving relationship with God. "There is no fear of God before their eyes" (Romans 3:18). However, if you fear God, thank God for putting it in your heart.
