The Gift of God’s Pardon

This week's focus: Pardon

Pardon is defined as -

the excusing of an offense without exacting a penalty
excuse or forgiveness for a fault, offense, or discourtesy

If God were to deal with us in accordance with our deeds, we would all face the penalty of sin; all have sinned and come short of God's Glory. We thank God for His unconditional love and the gift of His pardon. We must repent of all the ways we have sinned against Him and pray that He would cleanse our hearts of all iniquity. Pray that God would pardon His people, the Church, in America. May He cleanse our hearts of iniquity and rebuild us as a unified Body who demonstrate our love to the nation.

Jeremiah 33:7-8 (NKJV)

And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return and will rebuild those places as at the first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me.
