"He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." Micah 7:19
Hundreds of years before Jesus came to the earth, God was showing those who believed in Him, what we would have. Look at what God revealed to Micah, a people whose iniquities were subdued by God Himself and not that their sins were just going to be subdued, but that their sins were going to be cast from them! Micah saw complete separation from sin! Micah was so sure of what he had heard from God, that he wrote as if he were part of it. He knew God would have compassion on him and on all who believed as well! God had revealed the same Truth to King David. "Even David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." Romans 4:6-8
I felt led to finish this study on our freedom from sin with these two verses from the Old Covenant. These two men were never able to live in the freedom that we now live in, yet they preached about it as if they were part of it! They weren’t angry that we would have something that they did not have. They rejoiced in our freedom, and in Jesus’ Name, the fullness of these Truths will be preached from every street corner and the world will believe and be saved! Sin is not the force that so many preach that it is, for those who have accepted Jesus as Lord, sin has been destroyed and Jesus has separated us from it! Salvation means that we are free from the power, the presence, the pleasure, and the penalty of sin! The Truth will set us free! Jesus be magnified by the power of God within us!
