God is very merciful, but He is just & righteous as well. When men disregard warning & entreaty, then law steps in.
I remember when I was living some years ago in Burnley in Lancashire, a woman told her husband, who had always kept aloof from things religious, about a man whom they both knew very well, and who had just died very suddenly.
The man remarked, "What a terrible thing to be called away like that without any chance of getting ready!"
And the woman could not help replying: "Without any chance of getting ready! Why, he has had 54 years of chances!"

Ecc 7:4 (GNT): “Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death.”
“Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.” - C.S. Lewis.
“Anyone who believes me and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe me will be condemned.” - Lord Jesus Christ (Mk 16:16 CEV).
