G-d is a G-d of attrition

No where does judaism teach us that Hashem is a consumptive god. He is a G-d of attrition. This means that for every thing you offer to G-d, he will take away more of your debt to him.

We all have a debt to our Creator. We owe him for our soul and spirit.

God is not a God of hurting us for our ways. He may punish us, but punishment is not ultimately painful. It is with attrition. Punishment makes us wither until we can be trusted.
