The Good News Found in Psalms

Today’s Through the Bible Reading: Psalms 121-123, 128, 130, 134-136

If thou, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared. ...And He Himself will redeem Israel from all their iniquities. Psalm 130:3, 4, 8

This is the Great Good News! God doesn't mark or keep a record of our iniquities (sins). In fact, Colossians 2:14 tells us that He has blotted out any record of our wrong doing. This is forgiveness and it is a gift!

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Col 2:14

God Himself redeemed us! We've been purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ (1 Pt 1:18, 19); forgiven of all our sins (Col 2:13); justified, the record that detailed our sin has been taken away and we’re declared innocent (Rom 3:24). God has washed us, sanctified us (1 Cor 6:11); He has given us new life (1 Cor 5:17); and eternal life (Titus 3:7). He fills us with His Spirit and dwells within us (1 Jn 4:13); He has given us joy for our sadness and filled our heavy hearts with praise (Isa 61:3). We have ALL we need in Him (2 Pt 1:3; Col 2:9).

So let's REJOICE! We've been shown the greatest love. We're redeemed, forgiven, justified and are being sanctified! We have the greatest gift to focus on each and every day!!
