as i am seeing it most enlightened souls on this plane such as jesus christ, mahatma gandhi, buddha taught love, tolerance, and patience. to answer your question, when jesus willingly chose the way of the cross, he was, according to christian beliefs, 'the sacrificial lamb of god'. their scriptures state 'the wages of sin are death'. so supposedly if you repent, you do not pay this penalty. in that respect we need to take responsibility for our own actions, and not assume we can get away with anything because we would be forgiven. this is where the law of karma comes in, or cause and effect!
