There are laws in this world and when people break those laws, there are consequences. At least that's part of the plan anyway.
There are some people who have broken the law that get away with their crimes. At least it seems like they to us. But God sees, ,and knows, all things. There is nothing that gets past His watchful eyes and His just judgements.
God has laws. People have been breaking those laws for thousands of years. One day, Jesus will judge the living and the dead. All people will have to face up to the things they've done. Everyone will be punished for their wrong-doing.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," - Romans 3:23
There is an exception to God's righteous judgements however. God has made it plain to see that, if we place our faith in Hid Son Jesus, God will forgive our sins. Why? Because Jesus already paid for our crimes when died on the cross. He took OUR death sentence upon Himself and died in our place so we won't have to die when we are sentenced.
People sin in this world. God knows that. He set this whole thing up before the beginning of the world. Sadly, it cost God His Son's life to compensate for OUR sins. How merciful and gracious was that!?!
Look at that picture again. When we see Jesus in heaven one day, I think this is how we all will react, after all the things that He has done FOR us. Despite us. Won't we run to Him with open arms and give Him the biggest hug ever?
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." - 2 Timothy 4:7
