“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.”
Psalm 32:1-2 KJV
David wrote this psalm after he had sinned with his loyal soldier’s wife and had the soldier put to death. “What bliss belongs to the one whose rebellion has been forgiven, those whose sins are covered by blood. What bliss belongs to those who have confessed their corruption to God! For he wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts.” David brought disgrace to himself as king of Israel yet he found complete forgiveness in God’s mercy. Paul wrote these verses when he explained to the Romans, salvation by grace through faith. The Hebrew word for “forgiven” means “lifted off”. Sin’s guilt is a burden that must be lifted off our souls. This happens when we don’t hide our sins. Sin actually means rebellion, failures, falling short, corruption, crookedness, the twisting of right standards and when such hypocrisies are not exposed, they become a burden which is hard to bear. Only the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins. God’s mercy only comes to us by grace through our faith in His Blood Sacrifice. Amen!
