To better understand a concept like that of divinity which we cannot fully grasp, it is always wise to limit ourselves to the faith that we have freely chosen to follow in order to build or pursue a personal relationship with a Father, who is not only the God of Christians. If God is indeed the One whose immensity we cannot fully grasp, He is accessible in an infinite number of contexts or circumstances of life which allow Men to have the privilege of knowing Him better because He himself is aware of the fact that, there are countless requests that He is the only one able to answer in a permanent, diversified and satisfactory manner.
Who doesn't know this verse from the Bible? “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” (John 3, 16 - Good News Bible with Deuterocanonical Books)
It is a prophetic declaration at the basis of any project of evangelization, conversion and repentance stipulating that, all Mens without exception are called despite everything to success, to prosperity, and to eternal life. But for this, they must give their life to God and in particular to Jesus. It is not a question of saying that Jesus is the only true path which leads to salvation as some seem to want us to believe, but of one path among many others having this particularity to be able to be a path of hope for the distraught, or to resolve in a definitive, significant and palpable manner, all the problems of Men, because Christ conquered death, after having suffered and being sentenced to death on a cross, for facts that He had not committed, but which He accepted for the salvation of souls.
The resurrection of Christ provided solutions to all problems in the name of Jesus. He who makes the free choice to follow Christ and is baptized, passes from death to life with Him. As Christ died and then rose again for the salvation of souls, he who is baptized accesses this divine life acquired by Christ, which is synonymous with new birth in Him, because as the Apostle Saint Paul makes known in verse 20 of the second chapter of his epistle to the Galatians, “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. » (New American Standard Bible - 1995) In other words, the Spirit of Jesus remains in the body of the one who chooses to become a new creature in Him. And when we have the Spirit of Christ in us, we have the possibility of knowing better the One who wants all Mens, without exception, to become children of God, through Jesus; that is to say, testimonies of life in words and deeds in all circumstances of life. And it is not enough just to become one; we must remain so by continually renewing this commitment. If He made the choice to give His life for Mens once and for all on a cross, it is because He knew that if He only had to be content with the law, no one would live. It is therefore not a question of feeling disqualified from this vocation to happiness because we have been condemned perhaps unjustly, but of being sure of having nevertheless gained life in Jesus, who is a treasure which puts us on the path to eternal happiness.
Never without God's mercy
The fact that Mens are capable of the worst atrocities should not destroy the hope of those who have chosen to put their trust in the One who conquered death. To correct all these deviations, errors and enormities which have the capacity to destroy the soul, God always offers His holy mercy through His son Jesus, who Himself experienced injustices to overcome them with the truth of His love. So, it is not because we had done this or that, that we do not deserve to be saved if we obviously show the need for it. “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that sufferings produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. » (New International Version Bible-Romans 5, 1-5)

If breaking the law implies sanctions against those who are guilty of having committed for example criminal offenses, the justice that God had manifested once and for all on the cross, will always be offered to all those who do not want to let their soul remain in an eternal prison. And for this, they must be sincere with God and with themselves. Indeed, God does not like lies. He who trusts in God, whatever he has done, will be saved because God is God; that is to say, He is Truth and it will never be otherwise. He is justice for all those who want to be justified, and who are willing to show sincerity.
To become a child of God is to respond to the call to become truthful. He who is called to become one, must start by examining himself, and do what he deems necessary for himself. The fact of being alive gives him the possibility to make the choice to change if he believes that it is what is best for him. By doing so, he fulfils a condition of eligibility for the goodness of THE ONE whose effectiveness of justice depends on the sincerity of the one who confides. It is not a question of not punishing criminals, but of always offer emergency exits to all those who sincerely choose change, so that God Himself continues to take care of those who show through their actions that they don't just want to be children of God but to remain so, thanks to one of the multiple means of salvation offered to Mens.
