What does it mean that Christ disallows our failed vows?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ intervenes on our behalf, ensuring our failures do not separate us from God's love.

Christ’s role as our advocate means that when we fail to uphold our vows or commitments, He steps in to disallow any claims brought against us. The concept of Christ disallowing our failed vows illustrates the grace extended to believers. Just like a father or husband who protects their loved ones from harmful commitments, Christ protects us from the consequences of our sin and unkept vows. His sacrificial death and enduring love ensure that we cannot lose our claim as children of God. This profound assurance allows Christians to rest in the hope that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, underscoring our reliance on His fulfilling grace rather than our imperfect actions.
