I am still not comfortable with it. Will need to see where your headed.
To me, the penalty of sin is death. So we should keep the penalty as to what it is..
Yes it sounds harsh that you went a few MPH over the speed limit and you get the death penalty. but in the reality of things, that is the fact of eternity.

---Scene 2---
I go to court and confess to the judge that I was speeding, but then say I can't pay the fine. To pay with my life is too high of a price; can't afford it. So I beg for forgiveness.
My attorney (the judge's son), having compassion on me, pays the amount I owe (he dies and resurrects).
I say, "thank you for saving me from the judgement!!" There was nothing I could do to pay my ticket and avoid judgment. I was completely at the mercy of the judge and without the compassion of my attorney I would've faced that judgment. He alone paid the price for me and the judge declared me right(eous) again in the eyes of the speeding law. The law has been satisfied by my attorney so that my record is clean. I am justified; no longer guilty.
[^The proper context of Galatians 2:21 & Ephesians 2:8: "salvation from Christ alone who paid my price. I am justified, not of my effort or any work of the law I could do."]
Is this better eternally-gratefull?
