Right: it's not innate; it's a result of influences from other things in God's creation.
... but how would that absolve God?
Great question!
If God is any good, he'd need to make an effort to help us out, we'd think!
And look at what happened, though, big picture, over time:
A believer was chosen (Abram/Abraham, who had an unusually strong willingness to trust, aka 'faith')) and then Abram was helped, and then when the time was right (due to changing situations) then basic law given (through Moses, the 10 commandments)...
And when of course the chosen people to lift through the Rule of Law then (inevitably) failed and then failed and then failed and then failed again and again and again to follow both the basic law -- like learning to walk for a toddler sort of: involving a lot of effort and falling....
And then later also the detailed step by step laws (giving a lot of instruction), most of the people most of the time still failed. Over and over....
Then, finally, as culture then evolved, and when the time was right, He came Himself (in a sense) to directly encounter and suffer our wrongdoing, and respond to it in a perfect way (without violence).
In this way, He changes our hearts: He defeated the attractive power of wrongdoing ('sin') in a profound way, that makes a new freedom possible for those that will listen to Him, look to Him, learn from Him.
Analogy: like Mahatma Gandhi: the people in power can beat and imprison, but they cannot overcome what is right and good in the end. The good slowly wins over time....
So, God did aid for us, and then more aid for us, and then more aid for us.
And then more aid, and then came to directly suffer our evils himself even, just to help us.
And He continues to aid those that will accept his help.
