O remember not against us former iniquities: let Thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. Help us, O GOD of our salvation, for the glory of Thy Name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy Name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their GOD? ...
So we Thy people and sheep of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth Thy praise to all generations. (Psalms 79:8-10a, 13)
We who are His must be thankful to GOD that He does forget that which He has forgiven. Our sIn is washed white as snow, and we who are one with Christ are seen through the Blood of Jesus Christ as perfect, holy, and righteous. That does not mean we sIn as much as we want to, because it has already been forgiven; it means we sIn more than we want to and yet GOD is merciful and full of Grace to those who repent.
When we humbled ourselves and surrendered to GOD on His terms He gave us a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. We have the Good News of Salvation that we must share so that others may know and believe. We are compelled by the Love of GOD to declare His mighty works as witnesses of His Power, and the Grace of GOD through His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary.
We are forgiven, and so we must forgive others. We are made righteous in Christ, so we share Him with others that they might live. We are the redeemed, so we praise His Name, for He is Worthy of all praise and glory.
If you don't yet know Jesus Christ, He declares that you must be born again. Believe His Word, and receive Him by faith in what He has and will do in, through, and for you. GOD is not willing that any should perish, but wants you to know that Jesus loves you and desires to establish a covenant relationship with Him that is real and personal. Trust Him, and turn from your sIn and to GOD and He will save and forgive you so you too can rejoice and give Him praise for what He has done.
In Christ,
