Do not disagree with anything your saying. There's a little semantics going on, but the verse directly says "fear", yet I also do not think that implies to live a life in fear. And I certainly didn't imply that one does not make mistakes in life, or that God wants you to live mistake free life to so speak, it's impossible. But it's just like Trump was talking about yesterday, you have to want to be good, you have to want to go to heaven, be afraid of not going to heaven, so that you life a live striving as best you can to be that person.
I agree. You have to want to be good. I believe that's within our DNA, because: what reason is there to want to be bad? It's not intrinsic, it's extrinsic. We are born good, and then Evil kicks in and tries to deceive you. Either you fall for it, or you fight an invisible fight against it, with the help of God, sometimes even without realizing. But realize you will, at a certain point.
Semantics, yeah, English is not my native language, so something might sound strange, and I might understand things wrong. I do my best.
