Forgiveness Quote by Isaac Marion
““These people, these beautiful Living women, they don't seem to make the connection between me and the creatures that keep killing everything they love. They allow me to be an exception, and I feel humbled by this gift. I want to pay it back somehow, earn their forgiveness. I want to repair the world I've helped destroy.””

![“We must not miss what this [Christ's once for all death on the cross] implies. It means that no religious observance or good behaviour on our part could ever earn our forgiveness. Yet a great many people accept the caricature of Christianity which claims that we can. They see religion as a system…” quote by Ritu Ghatourey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e56/ritu-ghatourey-5_christianity_we-must-not-miss-what-this-christ-s-once_1720845.jpg)
