Lining up with our look at God's promise of forgiveness at the beginning of the month, October's "Attributes of God" edition focuses on God's forgiving nature.
What a blessing to know that when we repent of our sin, our Saviour wipes the slate clean!
As the Scriptures say, "As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." In other words, as far apart as two points can possibly be, two points that can never, ever meet, so far has God removed our sins from us!
When we trust in Jesus and look to His sacrifice on the Cross that paid for the sins of the world, then no matter what we've done, we can find forgiveness in the eyes of God! Hard to grasp as a mere mortal. All the more reason to praise our King for His divine, forgiving nature!

"Our Saviour is forgiving! In Him we find our rest,
For He’s removed our sins as far as East is from the West!"

so far has He removed our transgressions from us."
