The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.
From Philippians 2:8-9: “He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted Him even more highly and gave Him the name that is above every other name.”

Perhaps the transformation of the disciples of Jesus is the greatest evidence of all for the Resurrection.
From Acts 3:13-14: “The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom you handed over and rejected in the presence of Pilate, though he had decided to release him. But you rejected the holy and righteous one and asked to have a murderer given to you.”
