God does not let us get by with our sins; He forgives them. That is two different things.

Being forgiven is not "getting by" with something.

It is a mystery that, for the follower of Jesus, makes sense in the drama and reality of the cross and which always leads to awe and worship.

And now, He is calling us home.

" O LORD our God, you answered them;
you were a forgiving God to them,
but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
Exalt the LORD our God,
and worship at his holy mountain;
for the LORD our God is holy!"
