FORGIVENESS OF SINS

(Mat 1:21 KJV)
 And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.

 

(Isa 1:16-20 KJV) 

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes;

cease to do evil; {17} Learn to do well;

seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

{18} Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

 though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

 {19} If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

{20} But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword:

 for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

FORGIVENESS An act of God’s grace to forget forever and not hold people of faith accountable for sins they confess; to a lesser degree the gracious human act of not holding wrong acts against a person. It is the gracious act of God by which believers are put into a right relationship to God and transferred from spiritual death to spiritual life through the sacrifice of Jesus. It is also, in this divine dimension, the ongoing gift of God without which our lives as Christians would be depressing and full of guilt. In terms of a human dimension, forgiveness is that act and attitude toward those who have wronged us which restores relationships and fellowship.

 

OLD TESTAMENT TEACHINGS ABOUT  FORGIVENESS 

FORGIVE (OT.) {HEB= TO LIFT}

(Psa 103:10-14 KJV) 

 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

 {11} For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

 {12} As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

{13} Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

 {14} For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

 

(Psa 25:10-18 KJV) 

 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

{11} For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

{12} What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

 {13} His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

 {14} The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.

{15} Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

{16} Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

 {17} The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

{18} Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.

 

(Isa 43:25-26 KJV)

  I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake,

and will not remember thy sins.

 {26} Put me in remembrance: let us plead together:

declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

 

(Jer 31:33-34 KJV) 

 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel;

 After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;

and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

{34} And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying,

Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD:

 for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

 

(Micah 7:18-19 KJV) 

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,

and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?

he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

{19} He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us;

he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

 

(Isa 45:21-22 KJV) 

 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together:

who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time?

 have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me;

 a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

{22} Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth:

for I am God, and there is none else.

 

(Ezek 36:24-27 KJV) 

 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries,

and will bring you into your own land.

 {25} Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:

 from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

 {26} A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you:

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

{27} And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,

and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

 

(Dan 9:24 KJV) 

Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city,

to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity,

 and to bring in everlasting righteousness,

and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

(Mark 4:11-12 KJV)

and their sins should be forgiven them.

Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
