Dear friend, Our gracious God is known for His boundless love and endless mercies. Throughout the ages, many have sought to comprehend the depth of His forgiveness. When we, as humans, sin, we often feel weighed down by our mistakes, feeling as if they are etched forever in our memory and the memories of those we’ve wronged. However, our Almighty God is different.
When we truly repent and seek His forgiveness, He not only pardons us but forgets our sins altogether. Just imagine the ocean; when you cast a stone into its vastness, it sinks deep, lost forever. In a similar way, our sins, once forgiven, are lost in the vast ocean of God’s mercy. They are no longer remembered or held against us.
Brothers and sisters, the stories in the Bible affirm this loving nature of God. Think of the prodigal son, who went astray but returned to his father’s embrace. His past mistakes were forgotten, and he was welcomed with open arms. Or recall the woman caught in adultery; instead of condemning her, Jesus offered her a new beginning. These stories teach us that no sin is too great for God’s mercy.
