Fear = respect. How can you love someone you fear?
The best examples:
1) you are flying on a jet and it drops 5,000 feet.
2) Driving down the interstate a semi loaded with fuel crosses the median and is heading directly toward you.
What are the common elements?
1) Your life is on the balance
2) You are not in control of the situation.
Now, when you encounter God, what will be your proper response? What does the Bible say on the matter?
Are you going to argue with the verse and tell God He is wrong?
A further thought. We don’t live in that fear but it is good to visit it often to understand who God is.
Biblical scholars have noted that the word means respect, not in fear of; secondly, on the same type of subject: the Bible says “call no man father” and anti-Catholics point to that saying you shouldn’t be calling some church person father; what it means/says is - call no man creator (as in father of the universe) since there is but one creator, God.
PS: In your examples it means being scared.
