2. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Often had he done this. Who is so slow to anger, so ready to forgive?
Every believer in Jesus enjoys the blessing of pardoned sin, and should regard
this as the pledge of all other needed mercies. He should plead it with God—“Lord, thou hast pardoned me, and wilt thou let me perish for lack of
grace, or fall into thine enemies’ hands? Thou wilt not thus leave thy work
unfinished.” Thou hast covered all their sin. All of it, every spot and
wrinkle, the veil of love has covered. Covering it with the sea of the
atonement, blotting it out, making it to cease to be, the Lord has put it so
completely away that even his omniscient eye sees it no more. Not without a covering
atonement is sin removed, but by means of the great sacrifice of our Lord
Jesus, it is most effectually put away by one act, forever.
