Today’s Encouragement is Isaiah 43:25 ESV [God said] “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.”
He Who Blots Out!
In the days of ink and papyrus, erasers didn’t exist, so blotting, completely covering with ink, was the only way to remove, erase, or cover the previously written words.
God says here that He, Himself blots out, covers, erases, and removes our sins… for His own sake! For His sake?
So that He doesn’t hold anything against us… “I will not remember your sins!”
Is it possible that… God has erased and forgotten our sins (He said so) and yet we still hang onto them? Beating ourselves up over the things God has erased, blotted out, these things that God Himself does not remember? Yet, we are reliving, regretting, re-sinning?
My friends, we are perfectly cleansed by His Grace, through the blood of Jesus Christ… in order that we can live in complete freedom of all our past, present, and future sin.
Our sin is blotted out, and not with ink, but with the perfect cleansing blood of Jesus. Covering our sin, erasing it perfectly, granting us eternal freedom from any and all condemnation!
Father God, thank You for blotting out our sins and not remembering them. Help us to live in this true freedom, with all sin forgiven, blotted out, and forgotten by You… and also by us, your forgiven children.
Oh The Blood
