None of us really deserve "well done". But by the precious blood of Christ, I am cleansed, forgiven, justified, redeemed, and declared righteous. WHAT A SAVIOUR!!!

I agree. But there is a difference in willful disobedience, and doing that which we would not do.
Paul, in Romans 7:19 stated that the evil he would not, that he did. This is unwillful sin.
But, look at Hebrews 10:26, 27

Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

There is a fearful looking for of judgment that the one who sins willfully can expect. And that judgment is one of fiery indignation. Sounds pretty harsh, eh?
