Psalm 103:12

Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Think about the statement above: as far as the east is from the west. Just how far is that distance? The length of the equator is just over 40,000 miles. So let's see…if I travel east along the equator and go 40,000 miles I get to East, correct? I keep going eastward, ever going eastward, eastward, eastward. When do I get to West? Never!

Our sins are as far from us as the east is from the west. Once you have confessed your sin to God, repent and ask forgiveness, you can't take that sin back. He has forgiven it, forever. Now that is a comforting thought for thoroughly sinful people like us.

Blessings
Mark
