“If
you, Lord, kept a record of sins, who
could stand?” Psalms
130:3 NIV
When
we die and go to the place of judgment, the Bible says that for followers of
Jesus, there will be no record of our sin. The tally of our life on earth should contain all of our human errors,
for the Bible says, “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” And
yet when they check into our “sin” column, it will be blank. No scratch-outs,
no eraser marks – just blank space.
Jesus
not only forgives our sins, but blots them out as if they never occurred. Jesus
himself was the ultimate sacrifice for ALL the sins of the world. He personally
took care of our sin problem 2,000 years ago, and our faith in Jesus is our
ticket into eternity in the presence of the Father.
And
the principle of God not keeping a record of the sins of those who would repent
and return was in Psalm 130 a thousand years before Jesus walked with mankind.
Forgiveness is a God-trend – it’s part of God’s character.
