As Far as The East Is From the West

By Billie Sue Duty

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear Him.  (Psalm 103:10-13)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. (John 3:16-17)

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared. (Psalm 130:3-4)

Our Father does not keep a list of our sins, when He forgives, He remembers them no more. (Heb. 8:12; Jer. 31:34)

If we have obeyed the Gospel and “we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

Therefore our sins, He remembers no more!
