And this verse remains in the Bible, even after the death and resurrection of Christ. So he has paid for all our sins, we stand free and clean before God, but our whole duty still is to fear God, we’re talking about reverence fear, to fear God and to keep his commandments, to obey him, to do what he wants of us.
If we are children, and we have a loving father, then our loving father is going to want us to obey him, and that will be good for us. And that’s exactly the relationship we have with God. One of the relationships. He’s also our King, but he’s our Father, and he’s showing us how to obey him, and the obedience is for our good, as well as for his glory.
