Its sayings like this that have dulled mens hearts to the truth. The truth is Jesus opposes SIN. Many times men blunt the force of that word by saying they "messed up".
We are so used to hearing cliches we think of them as being true. Jesus is not looking around hoping to find his people in sin so he can punish them. His teachings are given us that we may know how to PLEASE HIM.
If one sets their heart to please Jesus, doing his will they will find favor with him. If they take no heed to separate their lives to him his face will be against them.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
The Lord desires fellowship and intimacy with his sons and daughters. Yet he will stand against them if they sin.

You suggest sinners need to know the fear of God, I say His Children and those who call His Name need to be re-acquainted with His Terror and Fire.
His Refining Fire can be terrible when His children are disobedient.
Maybe more Christians, not sinners, but more so-called Christians need to become re-acquainted with the terror of God and His Refining Fire.
