The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always
chide, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us
according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love
toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions
from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear
him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
-Psalm 103:8-14
The picture of God revealed in these verses must have seemed almost impossible to believe for the Old
Testament Israelites. Just too good to be true. How could God remove sins so completely? Could we
really believe that he relates to us as a father to his children? But Jesus removes all doubt. God’s justice
was completely satisfied with Jesus’ death as payment for sin – for all the sin of all those who believe.
Now we live in such a state of grace that it would, in fact, be injustice for God to hold our sins against
us, so thorough was Jesus’ atonement for us. And John tells us in chapter 1 that, “to all who did receive
him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). Amazing
grace. Sins not counted against us, thoroughly and forever removed. Our new status: children of the
King, the Almighty. What a solid foundation! This is the only true and lasting source of comfort in life
and death.
