He retaineth not his anger for ever, Because he delighteth in mercy.God Forgives SinGod forgives us with the purpose of leading us back to righteousnessThere is an immeasurable gulf put between the sinner & his sins once they are forgivenGod Forgives SinPsalm 1038The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide: Neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 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.God Forgives SinForgiveness is linked with Gods eternal purposeNumbers 1418The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.God Forgives SinThe guilty will not be pardonedNumbers 14Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;23Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:God Forgives SinForgiveness is linked to Gods Memorial NamePsalm 256 Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; For they have been ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy mercy remember thou me For thy goodness sake, O Lord. 8 Good and upright is the Lord: Therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

That is the basis on which He forgives. He realizes they are weak and erring creatures given to repeated failure and that His forgiveness is needed to sustain them during a time of probation and transformation.God Forgives SinFor this reason He is ready and willing to forgive and delights in doing so which is consistent with His character in order to achieve His eternal purpose and to include them in His Name. Its as if God is saying, Here is my character which is full of mercy, grace, longsuffering, loving kindness and faithfulness; its who I am; its what I am. Based on that character and that purpose He is willing to forgive us so that we can be part of that eternal glory.The Effect on UsWe are to bear Gods NameRevelation 14:1We are to manifest Gods CharacterLuke 6:36The result in our lives should be . . .FORGIVENESSbased on Gods righteous principlesMatthew 6:14,15 Ken Styles
