In the context of a godly person fearing the Lord, John Calvin has some wise things to say about fearing and loving God. While the godly man doesn’t want to stir the anger of the Lord, that’s not his primary motivation. Love is.

• ‘Besides, it is not the mere fear of punishment that restrains him from sin. Loving and revering God as his father, honouring and obeying him as his master, although there were no hell, he [the goldy man] would revolt at the very idea of offending him [God].’
