Not slavish fear, but child-like love

Y'day when ranting about the difference between offering yourself 24/7 to God ALREADY HAVING His acceptance & favor ....rather than FOR His acceptance & favor... i had this quote in mind:

The liberty which Christ has purchased for believers under the Gospel consists in their freedom from the guilt of sin, and condemning wrath of God, the curse of the moral law; and, in their being delivered from this present evil world, bondage to Satan, and dominion of sin; from the evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory of the grace, and everlasting damnation; as also, in their free access to God, and their yielding obedience unto Him, not out of slavish fear, but a child-like love and willing mind.
