This perhaps is a question you may not have been asked before or given a great thought to because in our modern society, the fear of the Lord has been pushed to the periphery. We have replaced the fear of the Lord with personal autonomy, self-centred pursuits and emphasis on personal desires.
The absence of the fear of the LORD has ushered in a wave of consequences that ripple through our communities, unravelling the moral fabric and eroding the values that once held us together. Family breakdowns and the disintegration of meaningful connections are all consequences of the absence of the fear of the LORD.

"In Isaiah 11:2, it is prophesied that the Spirit of the Lord will rest upon the Messiah, and one of the seven-fold spirit mentioned is the Spirit of the fear of the Lord. This prophecy signifies the importance of the fear of the Lord even in the life of Jesus Christ Himself. If Jesus Christ the Son of God worked and moved in the fear of the Lord, how can you and I - His followers, ever dispense with it?"
From page 5 of The Fear Factor
We will continue in the downward spiral of moral decay, self-centredness and palpable void that has engulfed our society.
We will lose the knowledge of the true God as we each create and worship our own God that agrees with whatever we choose to do.
Christians' witnessing will lack God's attestation and consequently credibility.
We would forfeit God's protection, guidance, and all the great and precious promises He promised those who fear Him.
Professing Christians will have no answer for the dying world around us because our lives and experiences will not be different from theirs.
We would fail the next generation and leave them in a more dire state without hope.
We would loose the key to purposeful and fulfiling life - life will have no meaning but futility and merely chasing the wind.

"Then those who feared the LORD talked with each other, and the LORD listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the LORD and honoured his name. “On the day when I act,” says the LORD Almighty, “they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not."
Malachi 3:16-18
