Proverbs 14:26
26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.
If someone says that you should not fear God because he is a God of love, they need to read the Bible. God is a God of love but he is also a God of justice. It is okay to fear God, who created everything and his power is beyond our imagination. When you fear God your respect him, you follow his law, and you stay away from the things that make God angry. When you stay in his way, he gives you refuge from the storm of life. He blesses you and tends to you and your family. So, go ahead and fear God.
