Someone once told me: If you spent 1 minute in hell, you'd preach the gospel from the top of the mountains as loud as possible.
I'll never forget that. If we actually witnessed eternal punishment for one minute, i'd be terrified.
You alone are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
However, if you stood before God while he was angry, i'd bet you'd preach the Gospel even louder.
In my opinion, i believe one of our biggest problems as a society is the lack of fear in God. We always think of God
As this "character" that comes and saves the day. If he doesn't, he failed, if he does he's great! That's really not how it goes.
God is just and all powerful. If he acted one your every movement, he'd have more gray hairs and have higher blood pressure than you can imagine.
Luckily, he's a loving God.
Every so often stop and ask yourself: "how much do i fear God?" You should fear him above anything else.
Not to make you run away from him, but to keep yourself humble of his awe and power.
