Fearing God and cause and effect

I often hear the quote "fear God", but I don't believe it's God we need to fear.

After all, God is all love and mercy.

Instead, what we need to be concerned about is cause and effect. 

This is how we learn. 

There is no punishment, per se, just the outcome of our actions, experienced both here and in the next world. 

How else could we learn, if we never reaped what we sowed? 

In that case we would be able to get away with murder, and this creation would be a madhouse, with no effective governing rules.

Thankfully, that's not how it works, but this fact will upset some, who have acted as if there will be no consequence to what they have done during their lifetime.
