Hi my faithful friend Nick, when i think of someone saying, "i'll put the fear of God in you" i think of the dark ages because this is where it came from, when we were oppressed for so many years in egypt, but when the Christ my Rabbi came to life and was sent here for us to know God and his word with signs and gifts that no man could ever imagine of doing, when rabbi Jesus took the teachings he had from God and showed us how God wanted us to live, sight back then to those people were needed i think to show that God was real and had a real love for us, infact God loved us so he gave his Son up for us for our sins that we have committed with His blood, this fear i hope cleares things up for you Nick, that fear of being scared was taken away, but now we have a new kind of fear, a fear out of respect to Him as i have committed my life to Him after i realized im not emmortal lol, the fear of not getting into heaven as God would like all of us to do. And one more important thing is the Grace of God, thank God for Grace, some scriptures you may want to ponder on Nick, 2 Corinthians 5:10- do you feel confident about standing befor the judgment seat of Christ? There are 110 specific references to the grace of God Nick in the New Testiment and many other times when the concept was alluded to. Its a major biblical them. Acts 14:26- what does grace mean to you? and Acts 20:24- why was the message of Jesus called "the gospel of God's grace?". I hope i did a good job for you Nick, oh and Kathy did a fine job of explaining her views. God_bless you :)
