I can't say what "some people" mean, only what the Bible means. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word translated fear in the phrase “fear the Lord” is yare. Besides fear it can also mean revere, honor, or respect.
In the New testament the Greek word phobos is translated fear and when used to describe our feelings for God can be compared to the reverence a wife feels for her husband. Respect for God's authority is a good interpretation. Interestingly, while this phrase appears numerous times through out the Old Testament, it’s only used twice in the New.
This is due to the fact that God has made peace with us through the blood of Jesus, shed for us on the cross (Colossians 1:19-20). In Romans 8:15 Paul wrote, “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
Abba is the most intimate Greek term for father, roughly equivalent to Daddy in English.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
