Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9 He will not always chide:
Neither will he keep his anger for ever. 10 He hath not dealt with
us after our sins; Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11
For as the heaven is high above the earth, So great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

purpose Numbers 14 18The L ORD is longsuffering, and of great
mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means
clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation. 19Pardon, I beseech
thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of
thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even
until now. 20And the L ORD said, I have pardoned according to thy
word: 21But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with
the glory of the L ORD.

shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither
shall any of them that provoked me see it:
Slide 24
God Forgives Sin Forgiveness is linked to Gods Memorial Name
Psalm 25 6 Remember, O L ORD, thy tender mercies and thy
lovingkindnesses; For they have been ever of old. 7 Remember not
the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: According to thy mercy
remember thou me For thy goodness sake, O L ORD. 8 Good and upright
is the L ORD : Therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
Slide 25
God Forgives Sin Psalm 25 9 The meek will he guide in judgment:
And the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the L ORD
are mercy and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his
testimonies. 11 For thy names sake, O L ORD, Pardon mine iniquity;
for it is great.
Slide 26
God Forgives Sin God is telling us, so long as a person or a
nation aligns themselves with His character and purpose and name
and devote themselves to being part of these He will forgive them.
That is the basis on which He forgives. He realizes they are weak
and erring creatures given to repeated failure and that His
forgiveness is needed to sustain them during a time of probation
and transformation.
Slide 27
God Forgives Sin For this reason He is ready and willing to
forgive and delights in doing so which is consistent with His
character in order to achieve His eternal purpose and to include
them in His Name. Its as if God is saying, Here is my character
which is full of mercy, grace, longsuffering, loving kindness and
faithfulness; its who I am; its what I am. Based on that character
and that purpose He is willing to forgive us so that we can be part
of that eternal glory.
