Defenders will say it means "respect" or something similar. Regardless, it's a terrible adjective and no one should utilize it to describe oneself.

You ever notice a lot of people who are God-fearing have a reason to fear God? Like they're not good people.

IIRC, "fear" used to have a slightly more nuanced connotation in religious contexts, one which implied awed respect rather than terror. I'm an atheist who hasn't researched religion in a while, though, so I may be way off mark.
