Fear
Fear in Scripture appears both as godly reverence (the fear of the LORD) and as the dread that paralyses obedience. The prophets, apostles, and disciples are repeatedly told "fear not" — not because the threats are imagined, but because the presence of God redefines them. Scripture directs fear away from creatures and toward the One before whom all creatures stand.
