Q: Should we fear God when we are told he loves us?  A: First, we need to define God's love. Then, explain more about fear: Theres 2 main fear ; fear thats your friend & fear thats your enemy. The final fear is a revenant fear   towards God, (whom a believer loves).  One point folk misunderstand is, the non born again [converted by God] think theyre good, so if they do wrong they fear theyll be punished. But God revealed were all sinners by nature, as children of Adam - born in sin. From our mothers womb (from conception) we are enemies of God and that means....all are already hellbound.

Is fear your enemy or your friend?   Many non Christians say, You are trying to make people 😱fear. 🤔Not sure if people say that because God has convicted them, and they're fearful of God and the coming Judgement. Or if they think what Christians say are some kind of scare tactic.  The thing these people miss is: Fear is your friend, not your enemy.  *you wouldn't stand at the edge of a cliff, cuz you'd fall to your death.  *you wouldn't jump off a 20 story building roof, cuz you would die.  *you wouldn't stand in traffic, cuz cars or big rig would hit and kill you. *you wouldn't crash your car, cuz you could die.  * you wouldn't jump out of a plane without a parachute, cuz you would die.  * you would stop a blind man from walking into traffic, or turn him around if he was walking towards a cliff.  This is what Christians are saying .  God sent us to tell the world. We are saying do not step from death into eternity, without being right...
