Isaiah 43:25<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI,\u00a0even<\/em> I,\u00a0am<\/em> He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins\u201d. What a humbling verse. It reminds us that God didn\u2019t save us for our sake, nor did He make a way for us to sin and be excused. God saved us for His sake because of His great love for us. The word \u201cblots out\u201d means to \u201crub away, or erase\u201d, and the word \u201ctransgressions\u201d is the word for \u201crebellion\u201d. If you are not in Jesus, or not in the Word, you\u2019re in rebellion. You can\u2019t have Jesus without the Word, nor the Word without Jesus; they are inseparable. \u00a0There are a few things to always remember about Jesus and what He said. First, \u201cNot everyone who says to Me, \u2018Lord, Lord,\u2019 shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven (Matthew 7:21), Second,\u00a0\u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6a) and finally, \u201cSanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth\u201d (John 17:17). Not everyone that goes to church goes to heaven. Jesus is truth, and the Word is truth, and again, they are inseparable and go along with doing the will of the Father. God not only erases our sin and rebellion, He will not remember them either. You and the Devil may remember them, but God doesn\u2019t. Aren\u2019t you glad that He doesn\u2019t remember them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Isaiah 43:25 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI,\u00a0even I,\u00a0am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins\u201d.
