Well, if there was no judgement, there would be two consequences of that:

1) Left to their own devices, no one would want to follow God. Sin's just plain too much fun. There has to be some accountability.

2) God could not be a just God if he only rewarded. Reward goes hand in hand with punishment.

Now, your comment on fear interests me: we are to both love and fear God. We should fear God in the sense that we recognize His power and authority, and we are to love Him in that we are to praise and worship Him because of all he has done for us. Both are a part our walk with God.
