To fear God signifies to not do evil. To fear the Lord is to worship and revere Him, for in worship there is a holy and reverential fear, which is grounded in the consideration that the object of worship is to be honored. To fear God and give glory to him signifies to worship the Lord from holy truths, and to worship, or adore him, signifies to worship the Lord from the good of love.

The fear of God, as in Genesis 20:10, signifies a regard for divine or spiritual truth.
