Yes, praise the Lord believers are not appointed to God's wrath by the mercy and justification of the Savior's blood.
I mostly wanted to challenge the notion that there is no punishment from God, especially since it followed the "God is love and light" phrase. God is love...but He's also just and Holy and a righteous judge. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
Yeah, can you imagine seeing Him?? Even Moses, not having even seen Him directly, had to be kept in a tent for days because he glowed so brightly afterward. Our spiritual bodies will be so different though. Imagine what God created in 7 days, and then imagine what Jesus the carpenter has been preparing for us for the last 2000+ years.
There is the "fear of God"
If you're in Christ, you will never receive His wrath. If you're not in Christ, that's a different story.
But I'm pretty sure if any of us actually saw God in his fullness we would be frickin' terrified
