“For thy name's sake, O LORD, Pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.”
Psalm 25:11 KJV
David’s psalm, “For the honor of your name, Yahweh, never count my many sins, and forgive them all— lift their burden off of my life!” The Hebrew word used here for “forgive” or “pardon” is a rare word used only twice in the Old Testament and comes from a root word meaning “to lift off a burden”. Mankind was not created to live with the burden of sin which the first Adam got into. That is why Jesus Christ said “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Through Jesus coming to earth as the Son of Man and His death, burial and resurrection, He gave mankind this great salvation to become a new creation through faith in Him. As it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit’. In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, nor your ethnicity, education, nor economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as He lives in every one of us who believe. Receiving forgiveness of sins is the greatest gift from Christ. Amen!
