God forgives without measure!
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9 NKJV)
When You confess your sins to God, He forgives and forgets them and cleanses you completely from all unrighteousness!
That means you are made completely clean and righteous in His sight!
This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Rom 3:22-24 NIV)
He has the ability to totally forget and remember your sins no more! And, they will never be brought up against you again!
And, why does God do this wonderful thing for you?
The Bible says that He does it for his own sake! “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25 NIV)
And, how far does he blot out your sins?
“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalms 103:12 NIV)
Notice that this passage says that God has removed them as far as the “east from the west” and not “as far as the “north from the south”. It’s because “east from west” is immeasurable, but “north from south” is measurable! God’s amazing forgiveness is without measure!
