Just because God's grace is free for everyone doesn't make it cheap. Keep in mind that everytime we pray for God's forgiveness, God doesn't just take a glimpse on our petition and give a green light 'Forgiven' and go on with the next prayer request. No, everytime we ask for forgiveness, God's been beaten, whipped, spit at, humiliated, and nailed through the hands and feet for our shortcomings.
Just because Jesus uttered "It is finished!" 2000 years ago doesn't mean that all the pain and suffering he has to go through for us is something of the past and long forgotten, as he still bears the mark of the crucifixion to this day and will bear it for all eternity. Forgiveness comes at a price, not on us, but on our beloved Lord and Saviour. Remember that everytime you ask for forgiveness, lest you mock God's sacrifice for us unworthy sinners.
