Why Fear God, when you can love Him?

Our GOD asks us to obey him through the following of his rules ,to go to paradise and to  avoid the hell,but I want to tell you that there is a few peoples loved God deeply and forgot the fear.The fear comes when the Devil try to prevent one from obey his God and if so the hell is the fate.

It all comes down to your inner strength. If you believe that they can't hurt you, that God loves you and will protect you, they can't and He will.

Because the Bible states that "God is love". If God didn't love someone, God would cease to be God.

Without God, we are not capable of knowing what love is.  \n\nAre we supposed to read your name "Pastor Hatred"?\n\nYou still haven't told us what it is that you have against God.

No, God loves you, bad things that happen to you will mostly be man made, what is important is how you react to these things.

Hi. I often worry about the EXACT same things you do. Maybe this could help...\n\nProverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.\n\nPsalm 147.11-The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.\n\nPsalm 103:13-Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.\n\nAlso just like you, I didn't understand why God would let things that trouble us happen either. Like... why would something upsetting be His Will? Why would he allow us to be in pain? Mostly why do people always thank God for the good in their life and not curse Him for the bad?  Throughout the years many different people had told me the same thing. They all said that God will only give you what he knows you can handle - good or bad. So if you don't think that you are able to get through a difficult time easily, you need to have faith through him.

Considering I have no reason to fear anything, I don't.  What reason have I to fear anything and anyone?  I have Jesus in my heart and in my life, and that is all that matters.  Jesus' perfect love drives out fear.  So why should I fear anything?  I have no reason to, therefore I don't.

Honestly, I'm petrified of God. I don't know exactly why because He sent His Son to SAVE me, but I'm absolutely terrified that I'm not really saved and I'm not going to go to Heaven... I know that probably doesn't help you to feel any better, but at least you know you're not alone.

no, why fear what you cannot control

I have often wondered about that "term" myself. I do have a belief in God, but I don't follow any religion. I was raised to believe that God was all forgiving, so I see no reason to "fear" God. I agree that we do not need a God to be told what is good and what is bad. We all know within ourselves if something is right or wrong. I do my best to follow what I believe to be right and I try to avoid anything that I know is wrong.  Great Question! \n\nA.H.

Unless the secret of inward peace is also the secret of escape from fear, it does not meet a need I believe is almost the central need of mankind. If it be asked, "Why are so many people in the modern world anxious, worried, nervous, irritable, depressed, bad sleepers, and not quite well?" the answer in most cases is that they are frightened. . . . What, then, is the way to escape from the power of this ever-present enemy? I know none except learning that we are in the keeping of a God who will never desert us. . . . There is no fear where love is, and the love of God is always present. . . . Till we have faced that fact, we are not ready to understand what God does actually for those who trust in Him. But when we have learnt that truth, we may go on to say, "Come what may, we know that He will be with us and therefore need not fear." We may have to suffer in the body, but His sustaining grace will never leave us. We may lose our dear ones and so be wounded in our very hearts, but His grace will give us strength to carry even that cross. We may have to face poverty; but if so, He will do for us what He has done for thousands and teach us how to be poor and yet content. We may have to face hunger of the heart, and no one who knows what that means will ever think lightly of it; but even through that fiery trial, His love will sustain those who turn to Him. \n \nA. H. Gray

Do you really believe that God has any thing to fear about man.  Come on brother, think about it.  Remember when he was in front of Pilot and Herod.  They thought he should fear them too.\n  The only ones who have anything to fear with the coming of the Lord are the ones who wrap the poison of sin in the Bread of life, and try to feed it to His children.  And the ones that are so prideful that they cannot truly repent.

I think God/Nature protects most of us from knowing the things we cannot handle, but I seek all the answers I can find. Tell me! Show me! Teach me!
