Does God want to scare us? 

Death. Judgment. Hell. My own or someone else's. This is what most Christians fear the most. But fear of God and The Last Things is about punishment. And the Bible says there is no punishment in love.

What does it mean to "fear" God, if "there is no fear in love" (1 Jn 4:18)?Unpack the shift from fear to love, exploring death, judgment, heaven, and purgatory as a journey of purifying love. Embrace the Holy Spirit's grace, dare to be transparent with God, and step into hope.
