When LDS, I feared what all LDS do: sinning again means all those former sins come back to me (D&C 82:7). Not until I received God's grace did I understand that trusting Him meant He and His grace are sufficient to wash away my sins even if I occasionally fall back into them.
LDS believe one falls from grace by sinning (D&C 20:32). Yet Paul makes it clear that you fall from grace by trying to make works the way to please God to obtain His salvation (Galatians 5:4; Galatians 2:21; Romans 11:6).
Grace is not cheap; it is priceless.
