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 28:13
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Psalms 57:1
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me, for my soul trusteth in thee.
