Humanity became disconnected from GOD and fell as a result of disobedience / rebellion / sin / breaking of the law - becoming judged like and captive to the being that caused their fall - which came/comes with consequences (in this case death of the body and soul - Ezekiel 18:4, Romans 6:23).
Let's view humanity, who were all principally in/from the first man, Adam (Romans 5:12), as prisoners in a pit who are sentenced to die. However, the Judge against whom the offence (and offences) are committed, voluntarily decides to save and restore many of the underserving prisoners to eternal life to dwell with them by Personally paying the gruesome, humiliating price required for their freedom; graciously making invitation to receive pardon? (Isaiah 55:7, Psalm 51:17, Romans 10:8-10)... reaching into the pit to pull many out (Ephesians 2:8)
Now, I may be oversimplifying the matter in so describing, and there are many things that we do not understand as finite beings / flesh and blood, but really, what say you about a Judge like the One described?

I agree. I judge the gruesome and humiliating price paid to be morally unacceptable, and could not in good conscience profit from it, or exhort others to do the same. The agent responsible for the instantiation of this manifestly unjust scheme is a reprobate.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
