“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.” Isaiah 43:25 (NAS)
I have ministered to many people who cannot get rid of guilt and condemnation. I have ministered to a rapist, murderers, prostitutes, thieves, drunkards, adulterers, legalistic people, etc. Many who had a very hard time believing that God would forgive them of their sins. We all have committed horrible actions. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” We all have failed God and come short of His glory, but God doesn’t want us to stay condemned. Once we confess our sins, God says they are as far as the east is from the west. This is wonderful to know. When God wipes away our sins, they are remembered no more; they are washed by the blood. “But now Christ has come as the High Priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is not of this creation, and He entered once and for all into the most Holy Place not by the blood of goats and calves but by His Own Blood, so He Himself secured eternal redemption by the blood of God.” (Hebrews 9:11-12) We must receive God’s word that tells us that He wipes out our sins. When the evil one comes and tries to attack our mind with condemnation, we can stand on these scriptures. We can walk in freedom without guilt.
“Lord, thank You for Your blood that washes away my sins. Thank You that I don’t have to walk in condemnation. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins. Thank You for a clear conscience and Your sweet peace.”
For His Glory
