Never Counted

"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him." Romans 4:8

Quoting Psalm 32, Paul reminded the Romans that God covers the sins of those who believe. Our sins are never counted against us. This means so much more after Christ's death and resurrection.

In David's time, when these words were first written, the covering of sins required action by the priests. Atonement came through ritual reminders of God's love.

After Jesus walked the earth, we can now know beyond all doubt that we are forgiven, for it no longer requires man's action. God has done it all!

Lord, if You will never count my sins against me, when will I learn to forgive my failures. No matter how much I learn about Your grace, I struggle to live in it. Help me, Father, to start loving myself with unconditional love. In the light of forgiveness, I will find freedom from the enemy's chains. I am no longer a slave to sin. I am forgiven!
