Jesus loves us so much that His whole purpose of giving up His life was so that He would be awarded the legal right to be resurrected and live forever in heaven as our Great High Priest (Hebrews 7:23-25).
His role as High Priest in heaven, is to plead our case before The Father, who makes judgement when our adversary (the accuser) brings charges against us (1 John 2:1). He is the one who has become human to face human temptation and be tested in all respects, so that He is able to sympathise with our weaknesses (Hebrews 4:15).
Because He understands both the laws for God's justice and the weaknesses of the human, He is able to plead for mercy on our behalf, and orchestrate heaven to bring us to a knowledge of how to live in a way that the accuser cannot bring charges against us. For example, He will say "But Father, our sister knows no other way to respond than with hate. Grant her mercy while I teach her, and then let us examine her again". (Consider Luke 13:6-9).
Younger people generally have not been well taught to understand what sin is, and the wrong things they do are done before they have learned that it is bad and why. In fact, young people are taught by the world to become sinners when in actual fact they were not born as sinners in the first place. This is why Jesus said The Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as them.
As we grow in knowledge and experience, and He teaches us to understand what is good and bad and the consequences of our sin, we become more
culpable for our sins and we become more liable for judgement, less entitled to mercy on account of ignorance. Eventually we are brought to understand the reality that the wages of sin is death and that we need to repent or face destruction.
It seems to me that maybe this is a new awareness for you that you are coming to have in your course of life.
