Christian: What’s on your “Thank you, God!” list today? How about His forgiveness? The fact that He forgives every sin (1 John 1:9) is unparalleled. The fact that He removes our sins from us as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12) is incomprehensible. The fact that He not only forgives our sins, but also chooses to remember them no more (Jeremiah 31:34) is all because of His amazing grace. And so we say, “Thank you, God, for your forgiveness!”

Ephesians 1:7-8

7 In [Jesus] we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He lavished on us.

“Forgiveness transcends finite human reason. The mere thought that one’s entire sin account can be utterly eradicated is staggering. Yet it is quite clear that the forgiveness of sins strikes at the very core of human need and experience. It speaks of guilt gone, remorse removed, depression disappearing and emptiness of life eradicated. What power there is in forgiveness! And it all comes abundantly from the gracious hand of God.” ~ Lewis Drummond

The Lord bless you and keep you…
