Suffering Pays the Price for Something, Right?

This is no mercy for the wicked if they don't repent. None who believe in Jesus really can experience this mercy until they do. And then when they do, everything changes for them. They can be forgiven of their transgressions and the plan of mercy can then be exercised toward them. Those inherit the kingdom of God. He says, behold the righteous, the saints of the Holy One of Israel.
