The bible teaches we should all have a healthy fear of God. Why?
Because God is a Spirit so Holy, so Righteous, so pure that nothing unclean, inperfect, unholy, unrighteous can be in the presence of such a perfect being.
When your heart is soft, meaning open to the idea You need this God, your soul craves this Heavenly Father, your heart tells you something is not right with your soul in this life, on planet....your heart convict you, you wrestle and fear judgment as you stated, because it needs healing, it needs redemption .....it needs Christ.
You are in a battle right now with the Holy Spirit, you know Jesus wants you to come home and lay down your life for him, you had a moment where you said I will not except this judgment, I will have nothing to do with this Jesus, and a worldly peace, Satanic peace came over you, but it's a false peace from the evil one, as you stated...SOUR.
PLEASE, before your heart becomes hardend to Gods wooing, give your life to Jesus.
God bless
Ruth
