Psalm 103:12
Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
God's forgiveness is vast, far-reaching, and unending. The Bible tells us that our transgressions are removed from us as far as the east is from the west. This imagery reflects the boundless grace and mercy of God. When we come to Him with repentant hearts, He does not hold our past sins against us. Instead, He offers us complete forgiveness, wiping away the shame and guilt that once weighed us down. This is the freedom that Christ offers us—freedom from the burden of sin, and peace with God. The removal of our transgressions signifies not only forgiveness but also healing and restoration. As we embrace this forgiveness, we are empowered to extend the same grace to others. Forgiving others, as God forgives us, allows us to live in peace and harmony, releasing the weight of resentment and embracing the freedom that comes with God’s grace.
1 Peter 3:9
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Mark 11:26
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Proverbs 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
