The terrible thing about sin is that it makes people fugitives from God

The terrible thing about sin is that it makes people fugitives from God; and the supreme thing about the work of Jesus Christ is that it puts people into a relationship with God in which they no longer need to hide, knowing that they can throw themselves on the love and the mercy of God.
