Christians don’t fear God. There is a huge difference between fear and respect for power. It’s somewhat analogous to working with a power saw with its hard to see, dangerous blade: if you fear it, you will either end up hurting yourself, or not using it at all. However, if you respect its power, it can become something that can improve the quality of your life in many ways. The same general principle applies to God. If you approach with respect for His infinite power - and being infinite, by definition, His power goes far beyond our ability to understand, much less fully explain – a loving, personal, and beneficial relationship can be established that will give strength and comfort throughout every day of a person’s life.
