Christ was no thief, but He allowed Himself to be crucified with and for thieves. Why did He allow this? Love compelled Him to bear the sins of many.
Sin has consequences and brings responsibility. A man who gets right with the Lord should naturally look for ways to restore that which he has stolen.
Any honest person, however, would have to confess that God hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
When an individual gets things right with God, he should likewise look for opportunities to make things right with others he might have done wrong.
Although no person is excluded from troubles, saints have historically understood that God extends mercy as He divvies out life’s trials.
