"That's My King!" Who Forgives All Your Sins!

On the day of Jesus Christ's death on that cross, a fountain filled with blood was opened up to cleanse all His people from all their sin and uncleanness!
He was wounded for all your transgressions!
He was crushed for all your iniquities!
God laid on Him all your vile wickedness!
His soul is the the only soul that makes an effective, satisfactory offering for your great sin!
He purchased the New Covenant with His own precious blood so that God might forgive your iniquities and remember your sins no more!
He knows all the sins you've committed in the past; He knows all the sins you're committing right now; and He knows all the sins you'll commit in the future.  He knows your vilest sin; He knows your darkest sin; He knows your sin that nobody else knows about; and He knows your most cherished, loved sin!
He, even He, is the reason God blots out your transgressions and remembers your sins no more!
Though your sins were like scarlet, Jesus has made them white as snow!
Though they were red like crimson, Jesus has made them like the cleanest wool!
And if you repent and enjoy union with Christ Jesus by grace through faith, then you are forgiven for them all – past, present, future – vilest, darkest, worst – before you even know them all or fully realize the true depths of their sadness, badness, and madness!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

As far as the East is from the West, so God has removed your sins from you through the blood of Christ!
He has cast your sins behind His back!
He has hurled your sins into the depths of the ocean floor!
He knows more about the depths and evils of all your sins than you ever could, but He loves you and forgives you just the same!  Just the same as if you were His perfect, beloved Son in Whom He is well pleased!
Because of the amazing sacrifice of His own dear Son, God is more eager to forgive the most hardened, sin-loving sinners than they are to keep on delighting in their sin!
If God is after you through His Son by the power of His Spirit, you can't out run Him, you can't out smart Him, you can't out sin Him, you can't sin around Him – you won't get away!
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved!
Oh how blessed, blessed, blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!
Blessed is the one against whom the Lord counts no sin because He counted all the sins of His people as if they were the sins of His own dear Son and punished Him there on that cross!
But God raised Him up from the grave, ultimately triumphing over sin and death, so that sin will be banished forever and death will die to never live again!
One day, there will be no more sin, no more pain, no more death, and no more tears because Jesus is the great, glorious all-sin Bearer – behold Him – behold the Lamb of God Who taketh away the sin of the world!

That's my King!  That's my King!
