"Who is a God like You, removing iniquity and passing over rebellion for the remnant of His inheritance? He does not hold on to His anger forever, because He delights in faithful love. He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea." Micah 7:18-19
"Wonderful language! This is one of the finest images to represent the completeness of God's pardoning mercy to be found in all the Bible. He casts our sins not into a brook nor a river where they might be found again; no, nor into the sea near the shore where the tide might wash them up again—but like a stone cast into the depths of the sea, where they can never be fished up again, but lie forever buried and forgotten at the bottom of the ocean! This is divine forgiveness—casting all our sins into oblivion!" John Angell James
What a wonderful, Holy God we serve... to forgive us of things that He hates with all of His being...and to never bring them up again... take a moment and just sit in awe of how amazing our God is to love us so much... go take a look at this video it is kind of long, but good all the same! http://youtu.be/pRi4VwcrYmA
