God is the expert in turning your failure into His victory when come to Him in repentance!

“You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” Micah 7:19
“As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12
“For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” Hebrews 8:12
‘Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.” Isaiah 1:18

God says He would send our sins and iniquities very far away from us so that they can no longer there to condemn us. He says He will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. As far as the East is from the west, so far does He remove our transgression from us. Again God says I will remember their sins no more. Even after we know all these promises from God there are two groups of people still in existence today.

The first group is those who are sleepless in accusing and blaming other Christians. They even lose their nights of sleep, and their hearts are filled with jealousy and hatred because God forgave you and you are back again for God’s glory. I am here to announce to you today this vital truth of the Bible that has the power to free you from your past. If you have experienced failures in the past (all of us have failed God or failed someone else), our God is the God who delivers you from your failures and turns your life for His glory when we come to Him in repentance. God is an expert in turning your failures into success. Nobody can stop you from God’s love and plan for your life.

Corrie Ten Boom, who was a Dutch watchmaker and Christian who, along with her father and family members, helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War 11 by hiding them in her closet ( from Corrie ten Boom-Wikipedia) said like this, “God has taken our sin. He has thrown it into the sea of forgetfulness, and he has posted a sign that says, ‘No fishing allowed.” This is the power of repentance and turning to God. God will turn your failure into marvelous opportunities. God has done this in many Bible characters’ life. David, Moses, Samson, Peter, and Saul are just a few examples. However, there are people around you and me who want to fish right there on the spot, neglecting the warning signs of God. They are accountable to God for the evil deeds they are doing to God’s redeemed people.

The second group is the ones who acknowledge their sin, already agreed, and confessed to the Lord from their heart. Still, they carry the thought that they sinned against God and are not worthy to go forward in God’s plan. Where do we get such an idea? Not from the Bible. The source must be the enemy of our soul- the Devil. For some reason, even though God completely forgave and forgot their sins, they are not willing to forgive themselves. Please understand upon confession of our sins; God forgave our sins. Bible says, your sins are cast into the depth of the sea. The deepest part of the ocean is very deep beyond human imaginations. Experts say several hundreds of kilometers.

Additionally, suppose you lost something in an ocean. Do you think you can get it back? Wish you the best. You are not going to get it back or even see a trace of it. God says he cast his children’s sins into the depth of the sea. Children of God will also sin because we live on this sin-bound earth and move around with sinful people. However, we have a high priest in heaven who intercedes for us. If sin happened, we need to confess to the LORD immediately. Then God’s promise is he has cast those sins into the depth of the sea. The language used here is to let us know it will never come back to haunt us, period! Beloved, you need to acknowledge the truth, agree and confess your failures, and move forward. This is what Jacob, Moses, David, Peter, and Saul did. God will turn your past failures into marvelous success stories. The devil does not like it. Your own family won’t like it and friends won’t note like it. But you have to because God wants you to.

Bible says in Hebrews 8:12, “He will remember their sins no more.” We can go to God and try to remind Him of our past sins and other believer’s sins. God says, are you out of mind? are you jealous? What is your problem? What sin are you talking about? I don’t remember anything that you are talking about.

Beloved, the Bible says it is the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, that cleanses us from all our sins. Nothing else can do this fantastic and marvelous job. No religion will do it. No gurus, holy rivers and holy places or anything else can wash away our sins and grant us salvation and eternal life. The only way to the Holy God, the only way for forgiveness and eternal life is the way of the blood of Jesus Christ that is poured out on the cross. No other lifeline was brought down from heaven that we must be saved. The name of Jesus Christ will do it. The blood of Jesus Christ will do it. Do not be deceived. Nothing else period!

Bible says in Ephesians 1:7, “In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.”

Got a moment for today’s prayer? “Father in heaven, I thank you for today’s insight that God cast all my sins into the depth of the sea, that you will remember my sins no more. I believe Jesus Christ died and rose again for my sins. I confess my sins to you now Lord. I accept Christ as my savior and Lord. Please save me. Lord, help me not to accuse others because you cleanse people by your shed blood. How foolish I am if I blame others who are in your vineyard striving hard for your glory. It is only your love and forgiveness that motivates them. May I also be driven by your love and forgiveness? In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray, Amen.
