REPENTANCE BECAUSE OF LOVE AND FEAR

In the Talmud Yoma 86a, 86b it is written:

R. Hama b. Hanina said: Great is penitence, for it brings healing to the world, as it is said: I will heal their backsliding, I will love then, freely. (Hosea 14:4).

R. Hama b. Hanina pointed out a contradiction: It is written : Return, ye backsliding children, (Jeremiah / Yermiyahu 3:22) i.e., you who were formerly backsliding; and it is written: I will heal your backsliding?

He answered: This is no difficulty: in the one case the reference is where they return out of love in the other, out of fear.
