“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 seduced the wife of his most loyal soldier, then had him killed to try to keep her pregnancy a secret. This sin with Bathsheba brought great disgrace to David, yet he finds complete forgiveness in God’s mercy. How happy and fulfilled are those whose rebellion is forgiven, those whose sins are covered by blood. How blessed and relieved are those who have confessed their corruption to God! For He wipes their slates clean and removes hypocrisy from their hearts. David foresaw the important doctrine of salvation for he wrote it in the days when the covering of sin was by the blood of sacrifice. Today our sins are no longer simply covered, but they are removed forever by the Blood Sacrifice of Jesus Christ once and for all. Through our faith in Him, Christ’s perfect righteousness is deposited to our account and we are declared righteous by faith. This is the finished work of the Cross forever. Let’s put our faith in what Christ has done for each of us, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. The Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world! Thank You Jesus!
