You cannot frighten anyone into love
Fear can wake a person, but it can never gather them. The pleasing Word of God heals and draws home where the sword, the threat, and the alarm never can. This is why warnings always reach a limit, and why love alone completes the work.

Gentle, in good faith — hold every offering, and one another, with love.

Fear is a stagnator by design. It can halt your progression towards damnation, but also towards salvation. Ask yourself if it's trying to stop you at all costs, or if it's serving as a threshold you must grow to overcome. Courage leads the way to growth, and there is no love without risking vulnerability.
