I have been meditating on these two words for a while. I have come to realize that there is a big difference between fear and respect. Some people say they respect their spouses, parents, ladies and guys, boys and girls, friends, boy friends and girlfriends, family and bosses while in actual fact they fear them. I am saying this from my own experience.
The only fear we should have is the fear of God. Any other fear is contrary to the will of God and it will definitely take us out of the path that he has intended for us. We must respect other people but we must not fear them. Fear brings a lot of things like deceit and flattery. In the work place and in our homes, there must not be fear of man. It must only be the fear of God and respect.
On the other end we cannot force anyone to respect us. Remember we gave our rights to the Lord when we gave our lives to Him including the right to be respected. We should be very humbled and grateful when people respect us.
Please look into this matter deeply and research on it. Any comments are welcome.
LET US FEAR THE LORD AND RESPECT EACH OTHER.
REMEMBER RESPECT IS INSPIRED BY LOVE.
