Pardon
“Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity?” (Micah 7:18).
“And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?” (Job 7:21).
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7).
The Prince of Wales once sought a prisoner worthy of pardoning, He passed up all those who stoutly justified themselves, but chose an aged man who broke down and frankly confessed his guilt and shame and that he deserved his imprisonment. What an apt example of the pardoning Savior who said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).
Yes, the Lord is ready, willing, and more than able to give full pardon to those who confess that they are sinners and receive Him as Savior. There is not one thing that we can do to rid ourselves of one sin. But there is abundant pardon to the one who admits his sin!
