ICE SKATERS

Committing sin as a Christian is like an ice skater in the Olympics who falls during a jump. A seemingly shameful and emotionally devastating event for the professional skater. But have you noticed how they fall? They slide down, across the ice, and immediately, almost gracefully, slide out of their fall to continue their routine.
When we sin, we ask God for forgiveness by giving Him our broken heart and we repent. And that's it. The next step is to accept God's grace and gracefully slide back into our routine. We don't have to work for our forgiveness; Christ did that on the cross..

 “But God demonstrates
His own love for us in this:

 While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us” 

Romans 5:8
