Bible Verse
Micah 7:18-19 says, “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”
Meaning
This passage from Micah captures two of the most profound attributes of God: His mercy and His forgiveness. God’s forgiveness goes beyond human comprehension – He not only forgives our wrongdoings but also takes delight in showing mercy. More so, he throws our sins into the depths of the sea, an expression that suggests a total removal from His sight.
The rhetorical question “Who is a God like You?” underscores the uniqueness of God’s merciful character. His mercy is unmatched, His forgiveness, unparalleled. This showcases the tremendous love He has for humanity and the lengths He is willing to go to extend His grace.
Actions to Take
- Embrace forgiveness: Just as God forgives us, we should also strive to forgive those who wrong us.
