God is not a doormat, nor should anyone else be a doormat.

Our sense of fairness tells us that people should pay for the wrong they do.

Jesus said that we should render to the state what properly belongs to the state, and though he had taxes in mind, we might reasonably infer that giving the state the job of punishing wrongdoers is one way of giving the state its due.

God does not give us salvation because we believe. Our believing is only the normal way of receiving the salvation he freely gives.
