Just looked at the OP title. I'd say yes, there is a good reason to be affraid if you are evil.
The thing is, God has a much broader idea of what evil is than we do.
All sin is evil in His eyes and we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Only Jesus Christ is sinless (the pope, the saints, and Mary are not despite what roman catholics think; in fact, I'd say the pope is downright evil, especially Francis).
Everyone should fear the Lamb who will become the Lion at the second coming. Just merely loving Him is a mistake. Everyone should fear Him, including those of us who think "well, we're good people for the most part."
Even those of us who're actually saved should fear Him because although our Salvation is guaranteed thru the blood of Jesus Christ we can still be punished by God while we're still on earth if we continue to keep sinning willfully without even making a genuine effort to stop.
We are His spiritual children and He is our spiritual Father. Like any Father, sometimes He has to discipline and chastise His children when they continue to do wrong repeatedly.

The problem lies within a large chunk of ecclesiastical hierachy and laity and their liberal approach to faith and tradition.
But this is not a surprise. Matthew 7.21: "“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."

Don't know why two are agreeing with each other, when you're clearly contradicting each other on the point of Salvation.

*sigh*No, you're just an idiot who thinks the universe made itself from nothing lol.... even more hilarious, you actually call it "science." 😆 🤣 😆
Big Bang Theory, for the millionth time, doesn't state that everything came from nothing.
Everything was already there, compressed into a super dense, super hot state. The "Big Bang" is the rapid expansion of everything from that early form.
Although, I'm sure you'll just call me one of Satan's minions again, instead of listening.
