I deserve death. I deserve to suffer. So do you. Even my children do. I make choices every day, knowingly and in ignorance, that I dig my grave deeper.  If Karma were real, I would be so screwed.  So would we all!

We deserve to be punished because we've turned away from God. We deserve death because we're sinners. Thankfully, Karma isn't actually a thing. Sure, we have to put up with consequences from our actions, but it's not a "what goes around, comes around" thing.  Knowing that people would turn against Him, God had already planned for Another to take our deserved punishment so that we wouldn't have to endure it.  That's mercy: Holding back something bad that should be coming your way.
