The fear of God actually plays a very important role in the whole conversion process, the fear of God works in conjunction with the Holy Spirit in developing perfect righteous character.
The fear of God is actually a blessing and is probably one of the most important contributing factors in developing Godly character in conjunction with being filled with the Holy Spirit, to insure that one is not condemned when judged. The Bible actually refers to the fear of God as mans treasure.
