As one in need of repentance I can say that this quote is about that. I think that ultimately one runs either to or from Christ, but in the vissitudes of daily life there is a more elaborate dance that often takes place. This is because to believe in and choose God as one's Savior invites immediate persecution, the reaction to this can be falling then into sin as an old behavior or even perhaps as a camouflage against further attack. (I'll pretend to look like everyone else so that they will leave me alone.) Is it right to buy time like this? No.
God does not condemn us, we condemn ourselves – how true and profound.
