Often we complain when there are consequences for our actions, however if we weren’t God’s children and He didn’t love us, there would be no consequences. In early Scriptures, the consequences for someone’s sin meant that something, unblemished and without spot, had to die. Because of Christ’s death on the cross as payment for our sin, we are spoiled rotten to the point that all we have to do is truly repent and be clean. There will be consequences, just as a shepherd breaks the legs of his sheep before returning it to the flock, however we should be grateful because our consequences are given to us out of love, and we must genuinely learn from them.
