    "Fear of God" does not refer to a morbid fear of punishment.
    It is based on love of God and respect for his position.
    It's a wholesome dread of displeasing or disappointing him. When we love someone we don't want to do things that that make them unhappy.

    Religious leaders who teach that God burns people in hell, are portraying Him as a monster. The Bible doesn't support this doctrine.
