I really do not have a proper answer for your question, I can only be certain that it is love for us, we are the most special piece of His creation and we were designed for a relationship with Him.
Without that relationship we get in to all sorts of crazy messes. Sometimes with the relationship too, but not so much and once received that relationship is eternal, so I don't worry so much anymore.
God hates sin, and everything about it, and as a believer I hate sin too, but where we split is your belief that the sin fight is yours to handle, my belief is that it has already been handled, and now I can walk with Him and learn from Him, and grow with Him, outside of that battle, free from that battle.
Because after all, He died for that. My undeserved inheritance is Him, through Christ Jesus. That IS enough!!
My focus is truly on Him, not trying to duck punishment, or fearful of missing the mark. He is pleased with me because I decided to choose Him, and for that peace and rest I am eternally grateful.
I am righteousness, through Him. I am now a child of God, the one true King, and I can rest in that for real.
Not to pontificate, or boast about how much I am accomplishing, but pleased to tell whomever how much He has accomplished in me.
Peter, I AM a changed man, make no mistake of that, you knew me not before, and you know little of me now. The depths of that change are remarkable, and could NEVER have been accomplished before the King took me in His arms.
Who I was, and who I am now are two diametrically opposed human beings. But all I did was focus on my God, look to Him, embrace His love for me, and He changed me, piece by piece, bit by bit and now I can reflect Him more adequately into the world that desperately needs Him. Not outwardly but a true change of the heart of men.
There is no religious methodology or biblical application, or spiritual formula to that, only the true love of a good good Father that accepts me and fills a place in my heart that only He can.
