Divine Judgment and Grace

I recently read a tweet that said, "It's always the people who believe in divine judgment who deserve it the most." I believe in divine judgment. Why? Because the Bible tells me so. So, do I deserve divine judgment? Of course I do, and so do you. Will I receive that divine judgment? No. Why not? Only because of Christ. Only because God in His great love sent His son so that those who believe in Him will receive love and grace and life instead of judgment. There is nothing I have done and nothing I could do to deserve this kindness. I deserve nothing but judgment from God. I suppose my thoughts are summed up by the Apostle Paul in Titus 3:4-7: "But when the kindness and love of God our savior appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
