"If you, O Lord, should keep a record of our sins—Lord, who could stand before You?" Psalm 130:3
"I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for My own sake, and will never remember them again!" Isaiah 43:25
"You will tread our sins underfoot, and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea!" Micah 7:19
All our transgressions are swept away at once, carried off as by a flood! They are so completely removed from us that no guilty trace of them remains! They are all gone!
Oh, believers, think of this, for it is no little thing.
Sins against a holy God,
sins against His loving Son,
sins against the Gospel—as well as against the Law,
sins against man—as well as against God,
sins of the body—as well as sins of the mind,
sins as numerous as the sands on the seashore, and as great as the sea itself
—all, all are removed from us—as far as the east is from the west!
All this evil was rolled into one great mass and laid upon Jesus! Having borne it all, He has made an end of it forever. When the Lord forgave us, He forgave us the whole debt. He did not take the bill and say, "I strike out this item, and that item"--but the pen went through it all: Paid in full!
"For as high as the heavens are above the earth—so great is His faithful love toward those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west—so far has He removed our transgressions from us!" Psalm 103:11-12
"My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!"
