The Guilt of Sin CANCELED


"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us." -PSALM 103:11-12 [KJV]

 
Infinitude is borrowed to exemplify God's mercy. Immeasurable distance parts the heaven from earth, so God's mercy exceeds all bounds. Thought cannot conceive it. Words cannot express it. Ransomed souls are its main recipients. They are aptly described as filled with the reverential grace of fear. Infinite space again expresses the removal of our sins. No traversing steps can join the east to west. As we advance from the one the other constantly recedes. Let us bless the Holy Spirit for employing this image to teach how utterly the guilt of sin is canceled.
