One can repent, but still has to face earthly Justice.

Exactly. We are all sinners in need of salvation but it does not exonerate us from punishment in this life for the wrongs we have done. I think often God subjects us to greater punishment here for our sins as a way of disciplining us that He doesn't let us "get away with" our sinful acts. He is a loving God but also a righteous and just God.

“I think often God subjects us to greater punishment here for our sins “

Indeed, as Jesus paid for our sins in His Body on the cross- and lived until that righteous punishment was exhausted, then He willed His Spirit to depart so He could finish the work for the dead faithful. We ( if we receive gods grace, undeserved favor in the exchange made possible by Jesus, then we can and are adopted into the family as sons and daughters and bothers and sisters of Christ-rather than face the righteous judgement of God the .

I consider the punishment born by Jesus in my stead to far outweigh any discipline or justice man could ever meet out for violation of man’s law.
