# 1 John 1:9 and the Fear of the Lord **1 John 1:9 states:** "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (ESV). This verse doesn't directly address the fear of the Lord, but it relates to it by showing that a proper reverence for God includes honest acknowledgment of our sins before Him. The fear of the Lord involves recognizing God's holiness and our need for His mercy, which leads us to confession rather than hiding our sins. We can approach God confidently because His faithfulness and justice guarantee forgiveness when we confess.
