Jesus' disciples were both amazed by and afraid of Jesus. To be in the presence of God without some level of fear is to not realize we are in the presence of God. Only when we are free from our sinfulness and in heaven will fear be totally removed from our relationship with God.
To not "fear God" now, is either to not understand His holiness and His power, or to not recognize our sinfulness and need.
Solomon summarized all of life with this statement. "Fear God and obey His commands."
