The love and payment of God

While I was cutting grass the other day, I thought of the time that Josh broke his arm in a tree! Since then my Dad doesn't like us climbing trees :/ When I was younger I remember thinking, Why does my Dad care? Its not his arm. Now I know he cares for at least two reasons.

1. He loves us and doesn't want us to get hurt
2. He has to pay for the hospital bill.

Its the same way with our spiritual lives. Why does God care when we sin?

1. He loves us, and doesn't want it to hurt us, as it will if we keep doing it.
2. He had to pay the hospital bill with blood so we can go to heaven.
