Why? Because you say so? Doing something just to save your soul or because you believe your savior wants you to is not a deeper sense of morality. It is pandering to your deity. A deeper sense of morality would be if you could figure out why to do good on your own.
Also, our reasons for our actions do very much matter. That is why we differentiate between manslaughter and murder.
And why would you do good on your own? To be unselfish so you might be more thoroughly selfish or because it makes you feel good. Tell me this increased sense of morality discovered with the purest intentions and deepest insight. BTW, a christian morality describe by Jesus and accepted by me is turn the cheek, if somebody takes your robe, give them your cloak too. Give away all your possessions and love everyone. This morality is quite different.
Are they still not punished for either crimes? Does the severity of the punishment correct the criminal's behavior?
