The sins of those who belong to God open the floodgates of his heart of compassion for us.

"Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." —Romans 5:20 –21 (ESV)
