Why should we need to dear for our soul?
I hear a lot of people telling me that I should. Do you honestly believe that a loving god would put us on this earth with the intent that we should live our short lives in perpetual fear?
Um, that should be "FEAR for our soul..." Yeah, typos...

Did that work when you were a kid?
"Dad, I know I stole Billy's bike, but you said you love me. So, don't punish me."
We don't get to define God. Would a good judge let off a man for murder, just because the judge is a loving judge? That judge must have a desire for justice. He must follow the laws set up for his court.
Have you ever stolen anything? Even a small thing? What does that make you? A thief.
Have you ever lied to anyone about anything? Of course you have. Now you are guilty of lying.
Have you ever used God's name in vain? Probably.
These are just 3 of the ten commandments.
If a just God were to judge you today, would you be guilty?
If so, then you should "fear for your soul".

A loving God would warn you. But you don't take warnings.
