Are we too casual with God ?

"Just wait till your father gets home" man I hated when mom said that, why because I had a healthy respect for dad and the consequences of breaking the rules. fear of dads punishment kept me from making more than a few bad choices, but now as an adult those words mean almost nothing to me. Now my interactions with dad are more peer to peer (adult to adult) than child to parent. and while this is healthy in family relationships I believe it is dangerous in our heavenly relationship. I think way to often we treat God as a peer, there is little to no fear of God anymore. All we want to talk about is how our heavenly Father loves us, we don't want to think about the fact that our heavenly Father is also the rightous judge of the world. Ravenhill said "If the modernist reiterate that the love of God cannot be overstated, they need to be reminded that the justice of God cannot be understated." Jesus said " And fear them not which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt. 10:28)I truly believe that this lack of "the fear of the Lord" is why holiness may be at an all time low in the lives of God's people. We have developed the attitude that if we sin it's no big deal we'll just tell God we're sorry when we are done. Instead of being a people of repentance we've become at apoligizing, remorseful maybe, regretful possibly, repentant not usually. So while we proclaim Jesus as our best friend we maintain a cold and callous attitude about the very thing that cost Him His life in the most awful way. Do we really belive God doesnt care that we treat the sacrifice of His Son so disrespectfully? That it is okay to say I love you Jesus but I'm going to continue doing ______________ even though it cost you your life and when I'm done I'll tell you I'm sorry. (there is a awful lot of I in there)? lets see what God says "For if we sin wilfully after that we have the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"(Heb 10:26-29)All throughout scripture God has required holiness from His people, in the O.T. the priest would purify himself before going into the Holy of Holies but now we go into the Holy place to let God purify us. what I believe we need, what I am longing for is a revelation of who God is, not the comercialized watered-down version of american christianity's Jesus. But a true revelation of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, The Great I AM. And as God reveals Himself to us may our response must be as Isaih's (see Is. 6) one of humility and repentance may we present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable unto God and let God transform our minds. Trust me God is longing for a intimate relationship with you more than you are for one with Him. So lets stop letting our sin seperate between us and our God (Is.59:2) let us boldly approach the throne of grace to obtain mercy because I am confident of this very thing that He who began a good work is faithful to complete it. God please forgive me for treating you to casually, for treating your sacrifice so callously forgive me for all the times I apoligized but never repented of my sins God create in me a clean heart. Holy Spirit convict me of sin lead me in your ways help me to daily get on the cross and die to all my wants, dreams, desires, failures, and sins and live for Christ and Christ alone in me the hope of glory In Jesus Name Amen
