Isaiah 44:22
I love how the New Living Translation says Isaiah 44:22...
I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your
offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the
price to set you free.” (NLT) God has swept away all of our
sins like a cloud, with just one blast from His nostrils, any
remnants of our mistakes and failures vanish just like the morning
mist is consumed by the heat of the sun.
While this promise of God's forgiveness is found in the Old Testament, it really points to the day when the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, would once and for all pay the ultimate price for us to be completely forgiven.
When God looks at you, He doesn't see all of your shortcomings and failures. For all those who have received the free gift of Jesus Christ, He sees you as fully justified and holy. While our past sins may continually scream to get our attention in the soulish realm, to our God they have vanished into thin air because of the finished work of His Son, Jesus Christ.
May we walk in a greater revelation of having our sins forgiven today and may the accuser of the brethren have no access into our thought life. As Romans 8:1 says... There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. (WEB)
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions,
and, as a cloud, your sins.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
and, as a cloud, your sins.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
