TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE

Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, Thou shalt purge them away. Psalms 65:3
 
​Memorize this Verse: (Cover the verse text and using just the first letters of each word try to recite the entire passage.)
​3. I P A M A F O T T S P T A

Notes on verse verse:

“Purge them away (forgive)”: The words, found 3 times in the Psalms 78:38; 79:9), means to cover sin and its effects. In the Old Testament, atonement was symbolized in sacrificial ritual (compare Exodus 30:10, Lev. 16:10-11), though actual forgiveness of sin was ultimately based on the death of Christ applied to the penitent sinner (compare Heb. Chapter 9).

David is saying here, that his enemies are constantly bringing up his past sins. In fact, they are blowing them all out of proportion. They want David’s sins to sound so bad that he will not be forgiven for them. In the next part of the verse David says, “our transgressions”. David is reminding us here, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of the Lord. The last part of the verse is very optimistic. David knows that God has washed his sins away as far as the east is from the west. I am glad that I am included in the purging of my sins. Praise God! Jesus is the propitiation for all our sins.

1 John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.”

This is one of the greatest shows of God’s love for man in all the Bible.

1 John 4:10 “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.”
