Yahweh is like a Mother who loves her adult son; but the son abuses Her trust whenever it pleases him. So Yahweh, in Her wisdom, pushed the son out of Her House.
It was Her will to push him out, but it was not Her true desire. Her desire was that the son would be kind and trustworthy. If Her son becomes decent and honest and kind, She will welcome him back in Her House with open arms; just like any loving Mother.
Religion is nothing, but God is everything. God became everything. God became the sky and the Earth and every star and planet; God became the bomb that fell on Hiroshima and the ovens that baked the Jews; God became every living and dead thing. God is the author of all.
To know God is to pay attention to what you see God doing. God could save, but God has not. Nothing happens outside of God's will. God's judgments are severe; death is no slight thing. God expects humans to be human, and not strive to be holy and right; just be decently human.
They say that God is love, and this is actually true, but God has been no loving Mother to humanity. God is Yahweh and not a human mother. Saying "I'm sorry" means nothing to God without action. God can't be played like a fiddle, like the way you've played your own mother.
God is stern and severe; but when God is kind, when God becomes your loving Mother (and no longer the Mother rejecting you), God introduces you to a new world (Her House, that you've never known). Everything is different. You even become a weak kid as you lean on God's strength.
When God forgives, it is perpetual. You cannot out-love God; death has no claim over someone forgiven. God is no god of this world, and does not "save" people from whatever sickness or tragedy only for them to drop dead in a few years (delaying the inevitable).
