The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7"
This scripture makes us understand that the fear of God is knowledge. Before any person would fear God or give God reverence, he might have had a prior knowledge of Him. This knowledge a person receives from God leads to the wisdom of God. Fools on the other hand, have no regard for wisdom and instruction; because of this inherent character they will continue to live in folly. Dear reader, do you fear God and how do you mean?
