Its about LOVE!
And I have had the concern you have! And only through the Holy Spirit was I able to understand...and it's a constant learning process! I didn't wake up one day and say: "I have it NOW!" ....hell-no!
Most don't fully understand the concept...including me at times!
But, because of love, God feels responsible for what we have to go through... even if we did sin against Him.
Its like our children! I have several...and there is NOTHING I wouldn't do for them! Including laying down my life!
God feels the same way about us!
Quis ut Deus?
