To sin because mercy abounds is the Devil's logic.

Discontent is an ungrateful sin, because we have more mercies than afflictions; And it is an irrational sin, because afflictions work for good. Thomas Watson

“A scolding ministry is not likely to be a happy one or a helpful one. It creates an atmosphere that is not favorable to profitable seed-sowing...People get tired very soon with that kind of ministry." —Rev. Francis Grimké

“In creation, God gave us ourselves; but in redemption, God gave us Himself.” -Thomas Watson, The Ten Commandments (Carlisle, PA: @BannerofTruth, 1692/1970), 96.
