From Hebrews we see that God will shake off all that is displeasing. This means things in heaven and earth; both angelic and mortal that refuse Him and His Son will be shaken from the new heaven and earth, leaving the holy and pleasing - the things good and unshakeable. So we must both revere and fear the consuming fire of God who offers love and goodness (grace). Then let us serve Him as we stand on the solid rock in the approaching storm...
Hebrews 12:25-29
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “ Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “ Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
