Serve God with Gladness, Not Fear
All commentators emphasize that service to God should be characterized by genuine joy, not compulsion or fear. Scholars contrast this with "slavish fear" or the service of "slaves." God desires willing, happy worshippers who take delight in Him and His service, serving freely from a spirit of adoption, not obligation.
