So many people (who do not choose God) make the argument, "God is a forgiving God" (Therefore He will disregard all of my sin and I don't have to worry about it).
But are we not forgetting, God is good and just as well. And because He is just, He will judge everyone. Would a just God not punish those who do evil? If someone murdered your child or family member, showed no remorse, and said they would kill again, would a good judge let the murderer go free. Of course not, the good and just judge will see that justice is served. In the same way God will ultimitely judge everything.
On the other hand, yes God is merciful and forgiving. When a person repents and turns from sin and to God, then yes, He forgives them. They are not condemned.
But if the person chooses not to repent, then what do they expect?
