Sins Removed

“As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12).

I am thankful that it does not say, as far as the north is from the south. If it did, there would be a limited distance denoted, as we can measure the mileage between the north and the south poles. But you will never be able to measure the distance between east and west. As long as you travel west, you will be going west, and as long as you travel east you will be going east.

Just so, our sins are gone when washed in the blood of Christ, and they are removed to such an extent that they will never be brought up again. Here are some further expressions that confirm the fact that, when we are saved, we have no fear of one charge of sin ever being brought against us again:

“I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins” (Isaiah 44:22).

“And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:17).

“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7).

Are your sins removed? They can be!
