Psalm 103:12 AMPC
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12 NKJV
As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12 NLT
He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
One of Satan's successful strategies is to convince us that God hasn't forgiven us.
He'll throw up regular reminders and accusations about what we've done wrong in the past.
It's then that we should remind him of this precious verse.
It's one of the most amazing verses in the Bible.
We're so bad at forgiving that we find it hard to believe how Jesus forgives us.
When we forgive, there's still some small residue of memory that we keep. Maybe we throw it up in a row: "you always do that!"
But our Heavenly Father removes those sins from us... to the greatest extent ... from east to west... yes, that far... hallelujah!
How do we know it's true? The Cross of Jesus puts the spotlight on it.
Isaiah 53:6 NLT
All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God's paths to follow our own. Yet the LORD laid on Him the sins of us all.
Romans 5:8-9 NLT
But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. [9] And since we have been made right in God's sight by the Blood of Christ, He will certainly save us from God's condemnation.
This is such Good News - that the Lord not only forgives, but removes that sin from our guilty and repentant hearts.
Only the Cross of Jesus can do this!
Jesus laid down His Life so we could live guilt free.
Dare to bask in that forgiveness right now... let the Holy Spirit convince you that you ARE forgiven... and forgive yourself too!
