 The notion of God is frequently linked to virtues such as benevolence, loyalty, amiability, and affection - characteristics that merit great admiration. Nevertheless, an important inquiry emerges as to how God can exhibit love towards saints who persistently fail to meet His criteria and lack the ability to fully comprehend His divine nature. Considering that God is the exclusive judge of what qualifies as goodness and gratification, it is bewildering to contemplate how He is able to endure the presence of transgressors - let alone those who boldly pursue unmerited favors in His presence. Despite acknowledging our own unworthiness, we approach God with humility and recognize that we do not merit His favor. Nevertheless, God has made a promise to hear our pleas with the same attentiveness a Father would listen to his child. Though we are as insignificant as dust in His eyes, God's abundant mercy and forgiveness, as well as His unconditional love and acceptance, make it possible for even the worst sinners to be accepted by Him. Through His covenant with His people, we see that God treats them as His own and has taken necessary measures to ensure the acceptance of those who fall short in His presence.It is not merely the intention of the divine figure to provide a solution, but rather the desire to grant sinners a reward that exceeds their expectations. This Deity has established an elevated level of compensation and aspires to bestow upon us the same form of gratification that He accords to Himself. This has been demonstrated through a pledge to fulfill promises at personal expense. Human frailty have the capacity to freely communicate their wishes to the Divine, resulting in a feeling of equitability with the divine as the divine lowers His position to comprehend human difficulties. The Divine not only acquires personal knowledge of human affliction, but also serves as an agent who disregards our weaknesses and wrongdoings, presenting us to society as unblemished and entirely accepted.Within our gospel belief system, we hold in high esteem a supreme Sovereign who attends to our needs, remedies our illnesses, aids us in our most challenging struggles, and establishes a merciful moral code that recognizes our inability to absolve ourselves from transgressions. Despite this, due to the benevolent nature of this Deity, a greater degree of leniency is bestowed upon us, even for the most severe transgressions. We are afforded complete autonomy to approach our Father with transparency and are fully accepted without reservation, as though we had never committed any sins. This is the level of treatment that we encounter in our relationship with the Almighty.
