THEY ARE GONE!
I want every child of God to realize the fact that at this very moment
all of his sins are gone – effectually, completely, perfectly gone, -
through the great sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. All of your sins,
from the cradle to the grave, sins before conversion and sins after
conversion, and sins of every kind are washed away in Immanuel’s
precious blood. Since Christ has died in our stead, under the sentence
of God’s law, we shall never be charged with sin. God has removed our
sins from his book, from his memory, and from us. In Christ we have been
freed from sin. “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us” (Psa. 103:112). Stephen Charnock
said, “When sin is pardoned, it is never charged again; the guilt of it
can no more return than east can become west, or west become east.”
Spurgeon said, “Our sins are so effectually removed that we shall not
ultimately suffer any loss or damage through having sinned. That
detriment was laid on Christ. His was the loss: ours is the gain. His
was the suffering: ours is the unutterable joy.” And God himself says,
“I, even I am he that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will not
remember thy sins” (Isa. 43:25).
Did you hear what Jesus said to me?
They’re all taken away, away.
Your sins are pardoned and you are free,
They’re all taken away!
