The answer
“God is love” (1 John 4:8) and long-suffering. He offers the chance of repentance even in the last moments of the sinner’s life, as He opened the gates of Paradise to Dimas, the right-hand thief. When the first man fell, rather than repenting he blamed God who gave him Eve, who in turn gave him the forbidden fruit. God responds to this behavior by offering His life as a sacrifice for Adam and his children! With His love, He remains faithful to His promises despite our unfaithfulness (Rom. 3:3).
