In those days and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall he sought for, and there shall be none. Jeremiah 50:20. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more. Jeremiah 31:34
I blush, O Lord, when I remember my sins and consider that thy pure eyes have seen them all; but thou hast promised not only to pardon and not be angry at or upbraid me for them, as men do; but even to forget every thing entirely, as if thou didst not know what has passed in the sinful years of my life, and to look upon me in time and eternity, as a dear child who had never done any thing amiss; since thou dost not see any sin, nor even a spot or wrinkle in me, but only thy dear son, and his blood, consequently nothing but what is worthy of thy love. Therefore thou lovest me more than I love myself; for the love I bear myself is but human. Thou lovest me as thou lovest thine own son. John 14:21-24. And since this is a divine, perfect, and eternal love, I must needs enjoy the same being in him, and one with him, his member, his bride, and very child. If it is possible for thee to hate him, then thou canst hate me also; but this can never be, since sin, which only deserves to be hated, is perfectly and eternally put away.
Jesus, we bless thy Father’s name;
Thy God and ours are both the same:
What heavenly blessings from his throne
Flow down to sinners through his Son!
With Christ our Lord we share our part.
In the affections of his heart;
Nor shall our souls be thence removed,
Till he forgets his first beloved.
