I think this kind of writing is intended to inspire a "holy fear" of God, against those who might sin with complacency

Also to inspire a kind of love of virtue, and a striving towards doing good:

> "If you want to be certain of being in the number of the Elect, strive to be one of the few, not one of the many. And if you would be quite sure of your salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few" -St. Anselm

I used to fall into this category. What you described is the true meaning of the word "repentance'. Most people just think repentance is saying sorry.
