Therefore, we should either deny His existence or run into His presence with confession and repentance. The writer of Hebrews clearly states the later. He says, "let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time."
Our sinfulness should not cause us to "hide" from God, but rather, to run to Him for forgiveness, grace and mercy. It is not God's wrath that keeps us from sinning. It is His love and mercy. We sin less because of His grace in our lives. Fearing God is delighting in His presence.
