Looking in a concordance of the world yira, when it is in the context of ha-Sheim, one finds that non-selective Torah-observance to ones utmost is what the Creator requires.
This is also in accordance with what the historical first century Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth taught to his followers. His teachings are found in www.netzarim.co.il
