God is Agape Love. Those that worship Him must worship in Love AND Truth.
Love is a terrible thing. It lays bare falsehoods. Anyone clinging to falsehoods are destroyed.
Agape Love leaves no room for Self. We cannot even hope to fully walk in Agape Love. We cannot even hope to Approach the God of Agape Love.
Yet despite this He is Agape Love and He made a way.
Through His Son He has redeemed all. Sin was nailed to the cross. The penalty for sin for the entire world has ALREADY been paid.
The disconnect is not that God is not Agape Love. It is that we refuse to accept Agape Love.
In refusing to accept the truth we are left with only the lie. The lie only sees what you have posted above.
PS: Of course Jesus is the way, the Truth and the Life. Jesus is God. The Father and Jesus and the Spirit are one. Just like a man and his wife become one when they are married.
God did not change because we or anybody else sinned. God is Love (Agape). That Love is life to those who seek it. That Love is death to those who reject it. Not because God is punishing us but because we have punished our selves by rejecting truth.
So yes, God is punishing us but not the way people think. It is built into the very fabric of reality that God created. The punishment is a natural outcome.
