“The story of the Bible is this: Jesus saves us. Jesus saves sinners. That’s the story. That’s what the whole Bible is about. If you miss that, then you lose your way all around the Bible. Jesus saves us. We don’t save ourselves. That’s the story. Saul thought he could save himself, he discovered he couldn’t, and then he was very glad that he discovered that there was someone who could.” See 12/13/23 Truth for Life broadcast, truthforlife.org/resources/sermon/it-history/#transcript .
Not only does God not treat us the way that we deserve, we don’t treat Him the way that He deserves. See Jess Ray’s song, Deserve. See also Malachi 1.
