Micah 7 KJT
18 Who is a
God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression
of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he
delighteth in mercy.
19 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...
20 Thou wilt perform
the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our
fathers from the days of old."
With these, the church here completed the book of Micah for the Wed evening bible study.
Thus, the book of Micah ends with these glorious words... glorious words. If nothing is remembered, just let these words linger in your mind and take root in your heart.
These are words that distinguish the one true living God from all others - the God of creation, providence and redemption.
Micah 7:15 speaks of the promise that God will show unto the flock of His heritage (v14) MARVELOUS THINGS... - "will I shew unto him marvellous things."
What are those
marvellous things?
They most certainly
include these things
- God PARDONS
iniquity.
- God PASSES by the
transgression of the remnant of His heritage.
- God RETAINS NOT
His anger forever.
- God DELIGHTS in
mercy.
- God WILL TURN
AGAIN, after turning away from us because of our sins.
- God WILL HAVE COMPASSION
upon us, after showing us His just indignation.
- God WILL CAST ALL
our sins into the depths of the seas, i.e. NEVER to be seen or remembered any
more!
These are THE TRUTH of THE MERCY of God... and God who had sworn these with an oath, will most assuredly PERFORM them. The promises, though ancient, shall surely be fulfilled.
These marvellous things have been fulfilled gloriously, exceeding abundantly above all that is expected or imagined. And there are more yet to come!
Who is a God like
unto our God, the Father of Jesus Christ?
