God is merciful.
These are signals, not assurances.
There is a God created void in man that needs to be filled. It will be filled with something. The question is what.
Luk_24:47 It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of His name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’
