I don't live in fear of being outside the will of God, BUT i do think about how much of a better person i can be for God to shine through me! I know my name is in the lambs book of Life, i just hope my crown has plenty of jewels, and hope that I'm on the first level.

I fear Allah, so yes ... that is something that I do worry about.
However, in Islam we are told exactly what God wants us to do so there is no question as to whether or not you are outside His will.

No. I don't fear non-existent beings or the possible bad things that could happen if I continue to not fear a non-existent being.

What you are talking about here is "Godly Fear."
A respectful fear is fundamental if we are to worship God acceptably. The Bible says: "The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom." (Psalm 111:10) The apostle Paul wrote: "Let us continue to have undeserved kindness, through which we may acceptably render God sacred service with godly fear and awe." (Hebrews 12:28) Similarly, an angel in midheaven seen in vision by the apostle John began his proclamation of good news with the words: "Fear God and give him glory."—Revelation 14:6, 7.
Fear and love work together. The apostle John was moved to write: "God is love." (1 John 4:8) Jehovah God has dealt very lovingly with mankind, and he wants people to respond by loving him in return. How, though, is such love compatible with godly fear? The two are actually linked. The psalmist wrote: "The intimacy with Jehovah belongs to those fearful of him."—Psalm 25:14.
Just think of the feeling of respect and awe that a child has for a strong and wise father. At the same time, such a child will respond to the father's love. The child will trust the father and look to him for guidance, confident that this guidance will bring benefits. Similarly, if we love and fear Jehovah, we will obey his direction, and this will benefit us. Notice what Jehovah said concerning the Israelites: "If only they would develop this heart of theirs to fear me and to keep all my commandments always, in order that it might go well with them and their sons to time indefinite!"—Deuteronomy 5:29.
Yes, godly fear leads not to bondage but to freedom, not to sadness but to joy. Isaiah prophesied about Jesus: "There will be enjoyment by him in the fear of Jehovah." (Isaiah 11:3) And the psalmist wrote: "Happy is the man in fear of Jehovah, in whose commandments he has taken very much delight."—Psalm 112:1.
Obviously, we can neither fear God nor love him if we do not know him. That is why a study of the Bible is so important. Such a study helps us to understand God's personality and to come to appreciate the wisdom of following his direction. As we draw closer to God, we want to do his will and we are motivated to keep his commandments, knowing that they will benefit us.—1 John 5:3.
Yes, as is brought out in the article knowing Jehovah can be a great source of joy in your life. It allows you to understand why he acts the way he does and why he did so in the past. It allows you to learn what he has instore for the futue. Knowing these things helps you to see that his requirements are not burdensome but are always for our benefit. You also develope a personal relationship with him as your heavenly father.

fearing the lord is the first way to wisdom. not everyone fears it, but should. being out of god's will separates us from god and that is most painful. being out of the will of god, will not make us happy, or give us the freedom we think we want. true freedom only occurs when we are in the will of god and practice it in life.

No at all. God is not to be feared, unlike some christian churches teach. Besides what goes around comes around so if you want to do unto others that you don't want done to you - beware it will come back and bite you on the tush big time.

No, I just live inside the will of God without even thinking about it.

Not at all. One mustn't believe in God out of fear, that's not truly believing. My God is understanding.
