to fear is to run away from something due to an unpleasant emotion or feeling that we may suffer or be harmed.

God's goal for us is that we mature spiritually and are no longer controlled by our own thoughts, emotions, and desires. He wants us to learn His Word and direct our lives accordingly, and be ready at all times to be His representative on the earth.
