When you owe someone, you feel indebted to them, but when you pay the debt, you are relieved.
In the same case, when one learns that you are a sinner, and unable to extricate yourself, you feel trapped, like one who is unable to pay up.Then the good news comes:That miraculously, you owe NOTHING!You jump up for Joy, and wish to know whoever did you the kindness.
Being forgiven by God makes you happy and excited.If a friend had paid up my debt, I would be excited for a while, and then afterwards, begin to be apprehensive, wondering what strings are attached .In Gods case, forgiveness increases one`s love because you learn that God loved you enough to Punish his own son instead of you, and that He will not ever remember your sin. Being a parent who has children, and knowing how much I love each one of them, I am amazed at God, who, out of love, `Kills` his own, to spare me, just because he loves me! As a human being, I do not have that capacity for love, and because I learn that God`s forgiveness is motivated by love, then naturally my love is stirred up as a way of reciprocating God`s love.The more one is convicted of his sinfulness, the more he realizes God`s graciousness, and the more One is moved to love God more.
