The Beauty of Our Forgiveness

Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the one whose sin the LORD does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit. Psalms 32:1-2




Imagine your worst sin.  Imagine what you are most ashamed of.
Now imagine that this has not only been forgotten on earth and in heaven, but that it's so forgotten that it's like it never happened.  Like you are not that person.
That is our salvation, yours and mine.  God made it so by punishing Jesus for your worst sins, and for sins you don't think are so bad.  He made it so that we never have to worry about our past being brought up in heaven, or even by Satan on earth.  This is the beauty of our forgiveness.


Imagine the worst sin committed against you.  Imagine the person who most shamed you.
Can you imagine forgiving him and forgetting his sin as if it never happened?
Can you imagine forgiving her and treating her like she is a new creation?
This is their salvation, because Jesus died for their worst sins against you just as He died for your worst sins against Him.  Who is more innocent than Jesus?  Who has been more wronged than He? 


This is the beauty of your forgiveness.  You can give to others what Jesus gave to you:  A very new beginning.
