Question: Should we have fear for god?

Answer: God is kind and benevolent. He should never be approached with fear. We should approach Him with love. But generally people approach with fear as they have peculiar concept of God in their minds. They think He is watching all our acts & punishes for all the bad deeds we commit. However, a man starts his religion by fearing God & ends up ultimately in loving Him after getting a true concept of God.
