The promise that God forgives sin is one of the clearest, most frequently recorded truths in the Bible, and yet it’s one of the hardest things for a lot of people to believe… Even some true Christians sometimes wonder, ‘Has God really forgiven me?’ – – God is far more willing to forgive sinners like you and me, than we are willing to be forgiven… The God of the Bible is very slow to anger and abounding in mercy… God “waits to be gracious” because He “delights in mercy.”
