i will tell you wrong and without no drama. Fearing God is the first most important when it comes to faith. it's part of faith that you should Fear God. As that's how God told Abraham.
read from ur Bible:
Genesis 22:12
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God.....
what do you think? is love is enough ?

you can't love Him without fearing Him, and vice versa
the word translated "fear" literally means "holy terror". .
as C S Lewis put it, a Christian "fears Him, but is not afraid of Him" (cause we know He is good and has our best in mind)

There really is no right or wrong way to love God. God is a teacher and a leader. You either love God or you do not. That is up to you. I would not say to fear God or hate God. Just be aware of God. Be aware that there is a God and that there is something or someone watching us and looking down on us. Just be you. Be a moral person with a heart.

The two basic attributes of God are Justice and Mercy. We all want Mercy but thank God we usually don't get the Justice we deserve. That's to fear.

Right on. We must Love and Fear God. Think about God and know that when we commit sins and know better then to sin, that is when we need to fear God. Forgiveness for our sins. When we Fear God, then we are not as apt to sin.

You people really should delve deeper into the aspects of Christianity. Of course, we fear God, but it is reverential, awe filled fear of his power and what He can do. Do not be so quick to judge, lest ye be judged. Amen?

God has not given the church of God (1 Cor.10:32 below, the living body of Christ Jesus – Col.1:24) a spirit of fear (2 Tim.1:7 below). The church of God is to love God (Matt.22:37, Mk.12:30, Lk.10:27, 1 Jn.4:7-8 below) with faith (Eph.6:23 below).
1 Cor.10:32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.
2 Tim.1:7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Matt.22:37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind (Mk.12:30, Lk.10:27 below).
Mk.12:30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment.
Lk.10:27And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
1 Jn.4:7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God (1 Jn.4:8 below); and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1 Jn.4:8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Eph.6:23Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Fear can mean simply seeing something or someone in awe.
You interpret things as you wish.
