Question #6

To fear the Lord means we revere Him and show deference and respect. It's acting toward God as if approaching a king who invited us into his royal chamber. We are keenly aware of God's high position and the honor of approaching Him! To fear God means we esteem His truth more highly than our feelings or perceptions of truth. To fear the Lord means holding His knowledge and truth in higher regard than our own. 
Hebrews scribes meticulously copied the text of the Old Testament to preserve Scripture for future generations, and they wrote the name of God countless times. The consonants "YHWH" denote His holy name. Biblical scholars are not sure what the vowels are for the divine name of God known today as the tetragrammaton. "Yahweh" is our closest guess.
Before a Masoretic scribe would write the name of God, he would first wash himself and then use a new pen. This was to show respect for the name of God and to carefully keep from breaking the Third Commandment (Ex. 20:7)
A Jew never uttered the name of God when reading Scripture aloud out of fear of the Lord. Instead, he would substitute "Adonai," which means  "Lord" or "Master." This may be the reason the disciple Matthew most often used the phrase "kingdom of heaven" instead of "kingdom of God."
Now, don't misunderstand. Faithful men and women throughout the Bible spoke the name of God. God is our Father, and we should speak His name. But we should do so with fear or reverence--never casually or crassly. We could all benefit from having a little of the Jewish people's fear factor.
We should guard ourselves against using God's name without respect or "in vain," as the Third Commandment says, "God" is not a stand-in for "Wow!" So how about your fear factor? Think about how you regard and revere God.
