No question the Lord holds His end of the bargain. But we enter into the Covenant,and God Forbid, we can also break the Covenant....
We enter into a Covenant with Him, and profess to hold our end up. But if we fail, God help us!
Maybe that's what purgatory is for. A bit of cleansing and contrition before we may enter the Kingdom.
Happy Easter!
