Did you have a parent you didn’t want to disappoint? Like if you disrespected them you felt super shameful and terrible for how you acted or how you disobeyed them? That’s the kind of fear Christians are talking about. You fear Him in the way you don’t want to offend Him or disappoint him because you respect Him so. You recognize his love for you and whenever you hurt him, you fear how he will feel, and you feel sorrow for how he will always forgive you even when you think you don’t deserve it.
