How is the relationship between one on Earth and God diminished during life?
Whilst a person is on Earth their relationship with
God is diminished by sin, choosing to live against how God has asked (10 commandments
etc). The Bible says God can not look upon sin and so before a person joins Him in
Heaven they must be saved from sin.
Why is God willing to forgive us?
As God is all loving and forgiving, and loves us particularly as the pinnacle of His creation,
he is willing to give forgiveness to those who ask. A person may then worship God and receive the power of the Holy Spirit during their Earth bound life. On death they will then join God in Heaven.
