Sinning for more love?

Luke 7

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

… the illusion that they are somehow stronger for having committed sin
and then lived through the period of repentance. This simply is not
true. That man who resists temptation and lives without sin is far
better off than the man who has fallen, no matter how repentant the
latter may be. - Kimball

It is important to remember that we don't have to sin in order to be loved by Christ. He loves everyone and we would be better off to not sin at all.

Matthew Abinante
