Huldah - Her Promise

Huldah - Her Promise

The story of Huldah and her words to the king illustrate the contrast between God’s judgment and his mercy. He judges those who deserve his punishment, but he quickly forgives those who repent. In fact, he is eager to forgive, waiting only for us to come to him in repentance.

Promises in Scripture

For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

— Psalm 25:11

Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?

You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.

You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

— Micah 7:18 – 19

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

— 1 John 1:9
