Proverbs 25:3 “The heaven for height and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.”
As my pastor says: if you are a born again Christian, your sins are as forgotten as the deepest part of the ocean—they will never be seen nor heard of again--totally obliterated. The hearts of even kings who have been given preemption over the economies of the world can neither explain nor understand this. How can a sin be forgiven and totally forgotten?
Apart from the sacrifice of Jesus, this sin would stand as a beacon forever. But Jesus knew that they would only serve to show us how weak, frail, contemptuous, and evil we are. Love is not like that—forgiveness will reign supreme if a man is saved.
Are you forgiven? Is your sin forgotten? Do you actively seek the ones who have wronged you just to forgive them? Should you not?
Lord, we love you today and seek Your forgiveness for our daily failings. Help us too, Lord, to look for ones needing forgiveness and encouragement. Help us be witnesses of encouragement and hope. For Your service we live. Amen.
