God is perfectly just – yet extends mercy.
"For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. ... Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect" (Matthew 24:37-39, 44).
