Forgiven - Sanctus Real


Forgiven , should these words not sound like a sweet song to the ears of weary sinners on the pilgrims path. It has been said by wiser souls than I , that the gospel is not just for the unsaved but the Christian as well. If we would remind ourselves of the grace of God in Jesus Christ , that on the cross He took our sin past,present and future , and nailed to that accursed tree , then perhaps we would live differently. When Paul said he wanted to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified , is it not when we stray from the shadow of the cross , that we either become complacent concerning sin or become overcome with guilt , wondering if Christ has truly forgiven us.

Living in forgiveness should fill us full of peace,joy and point to the glory of God's goodness and love. This life is one of joyful repentance  . In the Lord's prayer Jesus taught us to pray for forgiveness . When we comprehend how much we have been forgiven , then we are apt to be forgiving as well.

What amazing words to hear from the God of the universe , your sins are remembered no more.

Micah 7:19
19He will again have compassion on us;
    he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
 You will cast all our sins
   into the depths of the sea.

Surely they don't mean you? Did someone remove the asterisk? Oh yes, I believe that was Jesus of Nazereth. Finally get it, huh? By the way, great song and video. Love you, Mrs Reg
