Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And
passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does
not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love. He will
again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes,
You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.
Micah
7:18-19 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
Anyone who has studied
ancient mythology is familiar with the kind of god most civilizations created.
They were basically exaggerated humans. Some didn’t even have any good
qualities, none were entirely good. What god is like our God?! Not only is God
all good, He is more good than any person we could ever meet. Pretty much all
of the ancient gods were vindictive, but our God delights in unchanging love.
He loves to show us compassion. He doesn’t delight in spite or vengeance. Instead
of requiring everyone to pay for every sin fully, He willingly forgives and
relents. Because of His compassion.
That is the kind of God we serve. That is the kind of God we are supposed to be
like. Remember that when you feel overwhelming guilt. Remember that when
someone hurts you. Remember that when you see someone suffering.
