Why do people say they are God fearing? You should never fear God but embrace him and accept him and he will guide you. The correct statement should be God Loving or God Embracing. God bless everyone!

Nope. Fearing Him means you know you ought to follow the rules He set. To fear Him means you know there are consequences for knowing what is right and not doing it.
But it helps that we know that while we fear Him, it doesn't change that He is love. :)
