The Dayspring

The Dayspring…

For many believers, the forgiveness of God is a theological concept like justification, propitiation, sanctification, and atonement. We know that in Jesus we’re forgiven. We expect and count on being forgiven if we confess our sins.

But for many believers, getting forgiven becomes something they take for granted. But God’s forgiveness isn’t a doctrinal concept or a mechanical transaction. In Luke 1:68-79, Zechariah sings a song of thanksgiving with these words: “the knowledge of salvation, by the forgiveness of sins, because of the tender mercy of our God…”

Forgiveness only comes through the tender mercy of God, with heart, compassion, deep kindness, and real passionate love. He didn’t have to forgive us – that He does is an amazing thing. So if God gives you His forgiveness in this way, how can you receive it any other way?

Come back now to His amazing grace. Ask His forgiveness and let the hardness of your heart be melted and it will be, by the tender mercy of your God.

Let not kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.  Proverbs 3:3

Today, come back to His amazing grace and be enveloped in His tender mercy.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
