Grace for your spirit
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. I John 4:18
We are all called to fear God and keep His commandments. What does it mean to "fear God?" It is fear of punishment or a helpful reverence for His presence in our lives? Probably it is a combination of both. When we don't a right relationship with God, and we know we are going to fall into His judgment, it is time to be afraid. When we are walking after the spirit in the blood of Jesus, fearing God is a helpful reverence to continue to do His will. When we find that perfect love in Christ, our fear will be casted away along with the punishment. If we only live with the fear of punishment, we will not be perfected by love. Let's be in Christ and walking after the Spirit every day
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
