About This Quote
Our sins are our downfall. We must repent and return to the Lord. And He will receive and forgive us graciously. This is a common phrase among people who have fallen from grace after committing a serious lapse in judgement or breaking a moral code.
It is often used as a warning against the idea of retribution, as those who stray from the path of righteousness will face judgement day. In this case, the listeners are told that there is no need to fear as their sins have been forgiven.
