“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.”
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the LORD evil is avoided. Covenant loyalty (hesed emet) provides atonement. Fear of God prevents evil. These virtues are spiritually protective.
