(Gospel) When you run a red light, and get caught, you get a ticket.
If you speed, and get caught, you get a fine.
The civil system is not perfect. You might get away with it. It might not have been your fault. You can only be fined for external actions. And those fines can be pretty hefty.
God's system is a bit different. You can't get in trouble if it isn't your fault. You ALWAYS get caught. And in God's system, the crime is not only external: "everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
But there is one special thing about God's system that we all love: The ticket has already been paid! You just have to go into the office and fess up that you were speeding.
"Bless me Father, for I ... was speeding."
