Character of God Merciful and Forgiving

A God who pardons iniquity

Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity
And passes over the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
But delight to show mercy.
You will have compassion on Your people;
You will tread their iniquities underfoot And hurl all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Micah 7:18–19

Notice these verses concern a certain people:

  • who is pardoned: “the remnant of His inheritance”
  • for who God has compassion: “compassion on Your people”
  • their iniquities”
  • their sins”

So, the question is, “Are you one of His people?”

If not, you are invited to become one of His:

Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28
