Righteous Living

The Bible records for us that, the moment we believed in Jesus and received Him into our hearts, God the Father will no longer impute our sins against us.

The saying gives the impression of being a proverbial utterance, applied (as proverbial utterances regularly are) to some appropriate situation. But are the birds of prey mentioned in the saying really eagles? Might we not have expected a reference to vultures? Yes indeed; but there are two points to be made.
