What does it mean in the Bible when it says someone "fears God"?

The fear of God is healthful; it is an awe and a profound reverence for the Creator and a wholesome dread of displeasing him. This fear is defined at Proverbs 8:13: The fear of God means the hating of bad. It will prevent one from following a bad course, for in the fear of God one turns away from bad.

Pr 16:6 in the Bible the word “fear” has a number of shades of meaning. There is the physical fear or dread that we feel when someone wants to do us harm. The Israelite armies were very much afraid” of Goliath.

Then there is the fear of the startlingly unexpected or unknown, such as Zechariah felt when suddenly confronted by God’s angel in the temple. However, the fear Jesus felt for his Father was unlike either of these. Rather, the original Hebrew and Greek words used in the Bible for “fear” often refer to a profound reverence and awe of God.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
