Day 23 "Forgiven Justified"
Good Morning Beauties!
How are you feeling about your Righteousness today? Have you stopped all striving and are now resting in the Truth that you are already Right with God?
I usually look at the two words separately, but The Lord has shown me how they go together. Forgiven Justified is one continuous thought. Here is the scripture He lead me to, "So let’s get this clear: it’s for My own sake that I save you. I am He who wipes the slate clean and erases your wrongdoing. I will not call to mind your sins anymore." Isaiah 43:25 (The Voice Translation)
All of our mistakes are not only forgiven, but they are not even remembered. It's as if they never existed to God. How is this possible? God is Love - Perfect Love, and Perfect Love casts out all fear and covers a multitude of sins. (1 John 4:18, 1 Peter 4:8)
What's the purpose of God forgiveness? Is it to give us the example of how we are to forgive others? Ephesians 4:31-32 puts it this way, "Lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity, and insults. But instead be kind and affectionate toward one another. Has God graciously forgiven you? Then graciously forgive one another in the depths of Christ’s love." (The Passion Translation)
Once we have known the True loving forgiveness of The Father, we will be an outpouring of His love and grace and mercy to those who have hurt us. Are you willing to forgive? Are you willing to remember their sins against you no more? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“Measure how high heaven is above the earth; God’s wide, loving, kind heart is greater for those who revere Him. You see, God takes all our crimes—our seemingly inexhaustible sins—and removes them. As far as east is from the west, He removes them from us.”
