You are talking about different things like they are one. God loves you no matter what you do or what condition you are in. It is his Holiness that can't accommodate sin that has not been atoned for. It is his Justice the defines the punishment for lacking that atonement at the end of your life.
That sounds like he's the one that needs to change. Not us.
