God is the source of all things. the source of reality.
you may have noticed that reality has some rules to it.
you naturally fear things like gravity and fire. because when you don't follow the rules around these things, you suffer immediately.
but when you break the laws of God, the mechanism is not so apparent from the human perspective. you can cause yourself immense suffering by not knowing the laws of God.
from God's perspective, it is a little like holding your hand to a hot element. except when you do that physically, the cause and effect of your suffering is readily apparent.
when you are developed in God, you develop 'eyes to see'. internalize the laws of God, and you will be able to see and avoid your suffering from an infinitely greater distance. as well as to see and attain a better and better life.
that is the fear of God. if you offend His person, you may indefinitely postpone the bliss that is rightfully yours. avoid endless suffering by following the laws of God.
