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.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Daniel 9:9
To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness: for we have rebelled against him;
Luke 6:37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
