The Bible is a book of Love and opportunities for 'do overs' for all of us:

"Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God's glorious ideal;

yet now God declares us 'not guilty' of offending Him if we trust in Jesus Christ,

who in His kindness freely takes away our sins."

~ Romans 3:23 &24 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Some sins seem bigger than others because their obvious consequences are much more serious. Murder, for example, seems to us to be worse than hatred; and adultery seems worse than lust. But this does not mean we can get away with some sins and not others. All sin makes us sinners, and all sin cuts us off from our Holy God. All sin, therefore, leads to death (because it disqualifies us from living with God), regardless of how great or small it seems. Don't minimize 'little' sins or overrate 'big' sins. They all separate us from God, but they all can be forgiven.

"When a judge in court of law declares the defendant not guilty, all the charges are removed from His record. Legally, it is as if the person had never been accused. When God forgives our sins, our record is wiped clean. From His perspective, it is though we had never sinned in the first place."
