God-fearing people are God-loving people
The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear. (Isaiah 8:13)
On June 6, 1944, five thousand ships departed from England for the Normandy coast and the greatest invasion of World War II.....[One] skipper...lectured his crew on fear, and said, "Fear is a very healthy thing." A third-class yeoman yelled in reply, "Captain, you're looking at the healthiest sailor in the United States Navy."
We tend to associate fear with punishment and danger, but...[actually] perfect fear comes from our sense of awe and wonder as we get glimpses of God. John says, "Perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). Fear, for the Christian, is not so much about punishment as love. God-fearing people are God-loving people.
