"The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom"

The New Testament as well as the Old Testament describe how God acts to judge and to chastize (to correct). For example, there is a list of some 25 different ways to observe God's wrath to be found in Romans 1. The Holy Bible also describes many times that illness is often the result of sin: for example, James 5 says that a person who is ill should confess their sins.

Consider: How much sin would not be committed, if people understood that God acts with tremendous and fearful force against unrighteousness and ungodliness?

Why don't people consider the evidence of God's judgement? 

Now, there is also evidence of God's blessing: the righteousness that comes to a person through faith in Christ.

All this evidence needs the highest level of attention: personal contemplation and discussion among Christians.
