The good news is wonderful, but if we reject it the consequences are terrible. Some object that this is unfair, but this is nonsense. If you have a terrible disease and refuse to take the cure, then it is your own fault if you die. Even worse, if you take the cure, then stop taking it and turn back to your ways of sin.
As mentioned in an earlier post there are those who debate the "once saved always saved" issue, but this really is futile. The message here is that it matters how we live, it matters how respond to the gospel. Moreover, the Son of God is holy, His sacrifice and resurrection were holy. We cannot expect to reject such things without consequence.
The Holy Spirit is holy, and if He comes to dwell within us then we reject Him, how can we expect this to be without consequence?
The Lord is a God of judgement, and we need to remember this.
