Cleansing

What does it really mean to be forgiven?

God’s Response

You are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. Colossians 1:22

No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Isaiah 1:18

Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Romans 4:7

Forgiveness means that God looks at you as though you have never sinned. When God forgives, he doesn’t sweep your sins under the carpet; instead, he completely removes them from existence and forgets them. If you have confessed your sin, don’t go through another day under the weight of unnecessary guilt, because when you sin again, he will forgive you if you sincerely ask him. You can never ask too many times for God to forgive you—this is his marvelous gift to you.

God’s Promise

He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12
