![]() I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, And like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.” (Isaiah 44:22, NKJV) If the Lord forgives you at all, let me tell you what he will do— he will punish that sin of yours. Yes, he has punished it on Christ. Christ stood for you and bore all that you should have borne from the wrath of God. Therefore, God is severely just while he is bountifully merciful to you. Also, when God forgives you he does it unconditionally. He will not forgive you on the condition of this or that in the future, but now he speaks the word, “I have blotted out thy sins like a cloud, and like a thick cloud thine iniquities.” All this he can do in a moment; before that clock ticks yet again the sentence may go forth, “That soul has trusted my dear Son, and I have made him whiter than snow, and whiter than snow he shall be in my sight in time and in eternity. I have cast all his sins behind my back, I have covered him with a robe of righteousness; he is mine now, and he shall be mine in the day when I make up my jewels.” Here is a pardon which you have not to earn but to accept freely. Here is a pardon given to you, not on the condition of anything you are to be, or to feel, or to do, or to give; but a pardon given freely to you out of the riches of God’s lovingkindness and tender mercy. Jesus Christ has bought it; Jesus Christ has bought it for you; he brings it to you now; and oh! if you have grace to receive it, you may accept it, and go on your way rejoicing in the Lord your God. This is a pardon worth receiving. Charles Spurgeon GiGi❤️
