It is. Thats not love.
Fearing God entails respect. Like a child will fear his parents' disapproval and punishment, he will do what is right while unobserved. It is a different fear than "the monster under the bed" or "you better behave because Santa Claus is watching you" since that is not real love. So when we are urged to fear God, it is out of respect and awe. It's not a Freddy Kreuger kind of fear.
