Fear based Christianity does work. For example it's likely fear drove the First Great Awakening in the mid-18th c.

Here's a quote from Jonathan Edwards, one of the movers of the first great awakening :

From "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," by Edwards
Amen in the words of Mary during her song of praise (Luke 1:50)

"And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation."

It's interesting it says fear of God is relevant from generation to generation. Could this perhaps also include the church age?
