Commentators explain that the fear described here is not the terror that “perfect love casts out.” Instead, it is a holy, reverential awe that is a natural result of loving God. It's a profound respect for God's majesty, power, and holiness, and a deep desire not to displease Him. This godly fear is an essential element of a healthy relationship with the Lord.
