The word 'fear' from a Bible standpoint is often mis-understood.
There is a 'healthy' fear and an 'unhealthy fear'.
The healthy fear is called 'the fear of God'. This has to do with not wanting to hurt our heavenly dad. It is very normal for children to want to please their parents; they fear to displease them. But this is not about a 'morbid' fear.
Fear of the 'consequeces' of wrongdoing is also a healthy fear.
To illustrate this fear.
We are obliged to respect the laws of gravity, and temperature. Therefore we should 'fear' to simply jump off a tall building without some type of safety device. We should fear to put our hand on a burning hot plate. The consequences of a lack of fear in this case are great. At the same time we can certainly 'use' a hot plate to heat up our food.
We could also use a parachute to prevent us from the consequences of gravity. This explains the difference between a 'healthy' fear, and a 'reckless' fear.
The Bible instructs mankind though, to conquer the 'fear of man'. This fear can cause us to avoid doing what God requires of us, in order to go along with the crowd, and not be viewed as odd or strange.
Therefore, some fears we should, and CAN conquer; but other fears we should actually CULTIVATE.
