61. God's Forgiveness
Isa. 5:6-7; Psalm 86:5; Mic. 7:18; Psalm 103:10-11; 1 John 1:9; Isa. 1:18; Psalm 32:1-2
Leader reads the plain lines; the congregation reads the bold lines.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?
He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
As far as the east is from the west, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
