I've been thinking about cultivating the fear of God lately too, in conjunction with humility and refining the means of "vindicat[ing] in the eyes of a critical and skeptical age the supreme claim of the Abha Revelation."
Further motivation is in the Ridvan message:
"So high must be your standard of excellence and so pure and chaste your lives that the moral influence you exert penetrates the consciousness of the wider community. Only if you demonstrate the rectitude of conduct to which the writings of the Faith call every soul will you be able to struggle against the myriad forms of corruption, overt and subtle, eating at the vitals of society."
