Have you ever thought that you have committed so many sins that God might not forgive you? Are you afraid that your sins would catch up with you? Do you think that you have gone so far to the point of no return? If you have ever felt this way, you are not alone!
What if I told you that God can forgive and forget all your sins no matter how many or how grievous they might be?
Here is what God says about it: the matter can be settled. In fact, the matter has been settled, awaiting your acceptance. How? Why?
God made a promise
Psalm 103:12 NASB As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Isaiah 1:18 NIV “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 43:25 NIV I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.
Isaiah 44:22 NKJV I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.”
Jeremiah 31:34 NKJV No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”
Jeremiah 33:8 NIV I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.
Micah 7:19 NKJV He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
God has kept his word
Hebrews 8:12 KJV For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 10:17 KJV And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
He fulfilled his promise in Christ.
John 1:29KJV … Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Romans 3:25 NIV God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For He [God] made Him [Christ] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
1 John 2:2 And He Himself [Christ] is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
1 John 3:5 NASB And you know that He [Christ] appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
Yes, the soul that sins is doomed to die. We deserved to suffer the consequences of our sins. But God in Christ bore our sins and took away the consequences so that we can be delivered from the bondage of sin, live in the newness of life, and not suffer the penalty for our sins!
God in his omniscience had a complete view of the whole spectrum of your earthly life – from beginning to end, took account of all the sins you could ever commit, and took them away. God dealt a deadly blow to sin. He sent sins away into the deep sea of forgetfulness.
No matter the number or the gravity of your offence, God took it away completely out of the way once and for all, to remember them no more. God is faithful. He made a promise. And he has kept it perfectly, in Christ.
There is no amount or type of sin that the blood of Jesus cannot take care of. None!
Apostle Paul in Romans 5:20 puts it this way; where sin abounded, grace abounded much more exceedingly – God’s grace is more than enough to triumph sin, no matter how much!
All you have to do is to accept the sacrifice that Jesus became on your behalf, and you will be forgiven, washed, cleanses, and sanctified, once and forever!
He died that you might live. And he lives forever to secure the redemption he purchased for you!
You do not have to continue to wallow in sin because you think you have gone too far beyond redemption. God has settled the matter on your behalf. Believe it in your heart. Confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, and you shall be saved.
Amen.
