Your comment: “There is no forgiveness if I have to replace the window...That is me paying for my own sin...”
That may be a partial payment, but it may not pay fully for the inconvenience, etc.
Also it is not WORKS, it is a payment of a debt.
Do you remember the Our Father where we ask God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those trespass against us?
