Just when you think you know all about God's grace, He speaks a word to shed more light; where there is darkness.
Take Ps 51:1-7,9 for example. After wednesday night prayer, Pastor shared a brief, but profound, thought from this Psalm of David's repentance; that reflected David's grasp of the depth of his “covenant” relationship with God.
When confronted with his sin (of adultry and murder), by the prophet Nathan, David (“a man after God's own heart”) confessed: “I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.” Ever felt like that? David further said: “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Selah.
[1 Sam 13:14; Ps 51:3-4]
In the opening verse of Ps 51, David threw himself on the altar of God's mercy, and; by revelation (of the Spirit), cried: “BLOT OUT my transgressions.” And, in verse 9 David besought the Lord to “blot out ALL mine iniquities.” Wow, think about it, a clean slate: “Behold, old things are passed away.”
[2 Cor 5:17]
Only when you understand the immutability of God's “covenant” commitment to save you, “to the uttermost,” and to wash all of your sins away, can you appreciate the completeness of His grace to you.
[Heb 7:25]
