It has been said (in a humorus tone) that:
Christians fear their god and love their neighbor.
Jews love their god...
and fear their neighbor.

God is like a ghost to some, they are afraid of the truth.
To have faith in God is to be positive, negative is afraid to connect to positive. There needs to be a change, a transformation.

Guess I'm not "everyone." I don't fear God. I respect and admire Him. I recognize He knows more than I do and wants what's best for me. I am amazed by the wonders He has created and the love He has even for people that reject Him. He's the best friend I've every known.

I am not afraid. I have no reason to be. God will only do what is best for me

We fear Him because we want to show Him how much we love Him.

The Bible states that the demons believe and tremble.
God is pleased with faith and obediance.
