Keep in mind that said God is also the God of Noah's Ark who "saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time"(Genesis 6: 5) and was so grieved that he made man on the earth that he wiped out all creations save those in Noah's Ark in the Flood. Just because He is a loving God doesn't mean He doesn't despise sin and punishes those who commit them. Sin leads to death, and there's no way for us to escape the consequences of sin except through Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father but through Him.
