All My Sins Are Gone
By Marion Spellman

"I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." -Isaiah 43:25

Wow! I am impressed! What a magnificent revelation of pure power. In this portion of Scripture, every word is impacted by His innate strength and absolute authority.

Jehovah boldly proclaims who He is and what He can do. It is as though He is "sporting an attitude" - begging to be challenged.

Alas, there is a silence throughout the universe. The heavens and the earth are searched. There is no one able to utter a single sound. There are no objections heard - no opponents to be found. He has spoken in the present tense declaring the celebrated position of Savior that He has taken "right now" in my life as a believer. Here Scripture captures the very essence and the foundation of my existence.

Notice that God says that He has forgiven me...for His sake. The fact that my sins, indeed, all of my transgressions have been blotted out solely because of Him, nullifies every accusation from the enemy.

Like you, there is nothing in me that can merit forgiveness of sin. Still, I need not sweat nor hesitate when I am asked to produce proof for my incredible peace of mind and for such blessed assurance. I simply present the power of the blood by which my destiny has been sealed as an explanation for my justification.

Jehovah also declares that He has personally assumed the responsibility for satisfying my sin debt. This was something that I did not have the power to do, even though the account was rapidly mounting. He dealt with the awful hidden things that I could not face myself, the shameful thoughts that identified my true spiritual condition and yes, even the appalling things that I would do if I only had the courage and the opportunity. He referred to these things as "the intents of my heart."

It was important for Him to know that the sin in my life would be thoroughly and completely removed. It is clear that this assignment was too delicate to entrust to mere angels. My Sins...blotted out. Blotted out. Blotted out. Hallelujah.

Ah, ladies, as I close today's devotional, I feel empowered and so thankful because The Great I Am has washed away my sin and has publicly claimed me as His bride. He has defied every foe that would come against me. We are more than conquerors today because...this God is our God.
