Fearing God Leads to the Obedience of God
Fearing God, made Abraham obeyed God, and was going to sacrifice his own son as a burnt offering, as God had commanded him to do so. Genesis 21:1-18. Because he obeyed, God saved Abraham’s son and provided the lamb for the burnt offering. God then bless Abraham abundantly for his obedience.

Obedience = compliance with the laws.
When We Fear God, we do not sin as one who does not fear God. When We Fear God, He is in our hearts directing our paths, because we CHOOSE to listen to HIS Direction, NOT Satan’s. In Proverbs 1:7 it says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and destruction.”
To disobey is to sin. When one does not follow instructions from God, it may lead to one’s death and eternal damnation. As we read in Romans 5:19 for as by one man’s (Adam) disobedience, many were made sinners, so by obedience of one (Jesus) shall many be righteous.
We need to follow instructions and become obedient in all things. God will lead us in the right path. We just need to allow him to lead us. 2 Corinthians 3-6 3 For though we walk in flesh, we do not war after the flesh 4 (for the weapons of warfare are not carnal (flesh) but mighty ;)through God to the pulling down of strongholds) 5 casting down imaginations, and everything proud thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to The Obedience of Christ; 6 and having a Readiness to Revenge punish all Disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
