Why is there a need to fear God?
Is fear a necessary factor to ensure that we keep God's commandments?
This appears to put to bed the idea that we have free will from this religious point of view as obeying through fear as a duty leaves no room for free will once we make the decision to go with your suggestion or interpretation.

Free will to make a choice to obey God or not. You are not free of the consequences of said choice.
