God-faring and God fearing are two different things but go together. One does not exist without the other. Go-faring is to walk with God, travel with God, as in with a paid fare. That fare is repentance which is a requirement of true faith. It is the action behind the word that makes the faith whole, it is the fruit of true faith. Repentance, the fare, is defined as changing our ways, turning from our sinful nature and indulgences that we once embraced but are now leaving behind. A faith that knows Jesus died on the cross, resurrected Himself and ascended into Heaven, for the atonement of our sins. A faith that honors this incredible act of love by following His ways, which was to live a sinless life. We are not perfect, we will never be sinless, only Jesus was. However, if we pay the fare of repentance with daily intention, Jesus has us covered for our sinful mistakes. Keep in mind, it is one thing to make a mistake and repent, quite another to live in sin which does not resemble repentance, the “fare”.

"God-fearing" typically refers to having a deep respect, reverence, or awe for God, and living in accordance with religious teachings or beliefs. It is often associated with living a moral and virtuous life guided by one's faith.

One who follows a path of goodness (as apposed to one who fears God as in "God fearing") One who is god-faring does not fear God but embraces the beauty of all things God given.

Wrong interpretation of God Fearing. Look up the Hebrew word "yirah" which means awe in reverence. Other words for Fear are Reverence, Respect, Obey, Honor and Worship. Apply that word when reading "Fear of God" and in every instance it will make sense.
