God’s promise: forgive and forget

I will not remember your sins

Yet To Be #175

As children of God by spiritual birth not because we are God’s creatures, he forgives us our sins. But as human beings living in this sinful world we are subject to sinning daily. If we mess up for any reason, we have Jesus our advocate who approaches our Father God on our behalf.

How cool is that and how blessed we are. Amen.

I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25

Yet To Be # 67

For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Day 3 April- Easter the Second Day

For God so loved the world that He gave His only son.

Love so deep and so vast,

Encompassing all.

Is free.

Pleasing the Father, to bring us back 

And to bridge that gulf between God and man,

He had to die.

Nails in his hands and feet;

The sword that pierced his side;

The crown of thorns;

The mockery, his stripes.

All for us.

His blood was shed.

His body bruised. 

All for us.

Then darkness fell, the earth rocked, the temple rent.

All for us.

Taken from the cross and laid in a tomb.

All for us.

The Lord of life came to die.

He was taken from prison and from judgement: and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.” Isaiah 53 verse 8

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Timothy 1 verse 15
