Fear God?
There are Christians out there that have no fear of hell. Peace is one of the things God blesses us with, but you can only obtain it if you live with a heart of worship. Godliness is the state of adoration of God's spirit. You cannot be holy if you have no respect or reverence for his grace and mercy. If you have no fear of God then you would not care about his mercy. This is why the terror of God is important as well. This fear is what keeps us righteous. Fear keeps us appreciative of his grace. We should rest in his grace but not live in it. Grace is not Mardi Gras, but forgiveness. This indicates that the law still exists. If the law did not exist there would be no need for God's atonement. Coziness will lead people straight to hell. Mercy is given to us. It is not a right of passage. If the bible says that there will be Christians in hell, it must mean that some doctrines are wrong. If you are told that it is o.k. to sin, then you are probably being fed heresy. A relationship with Christ is not an open season to sin. Why do we need to repent if sin is okay? Why do we need Jesus, if the law is totally dead? If the law is dead, why do we still have jails? It is important to realize the purpose of grace. If grace was anarchy they would call it that. There will not be immoral or unclean people in heaven. Jesus cleans our heart, but it is not supposed to pursue filthiness. We are to live in away that honors God. If you are not changing, God does not live inside of you. If you truly love God you will always long to change. His word is what convicts us, and if we twist it, we are ignoring God. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Sometimes people should be fretting about there sin. Are you afraid of God's wrath? At times every one of us should be. The bible says that God does have anger.
