Think of it this way: If a parent tells a child not to stick his hand on a hot stove, would the parent be happier if the child stuck his hand on the stove and burned himself? I think not.

God instructs us to turn away from sin for our own good. Getting burned/sinning for experience's sake isn't something to be rewarded. Thanks to God's grace, God may help us heal and if we're lucky there will be no scars. Still, I don't think God would be pleased with the process.
