1-22-08 Isaiah 44:22 Your Sins Wiped Away

Isaiah 44:22 (NAS)
I have wiped out your transgressions like a thick cloud, And your sins like a heavy mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.
Isaiah 44:22 (NLT)
I have swept away your sins like the morning mists. I have scattered your offenses like the clouds. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At one time you had broken away from the just authority over you. You rebelled and revolted against Adonai. You did all that you could to stride quickly away from Him and His commandments.

However, when you were enveloped by that dense darkness, the Lord Jehovah had mercy upon you. He rubbed out and erased your transgressions, covering them over just as thick cloud covers up the sun. They have been utterly abolished, blotted out, and destroyed. Your sins and offenses have been covered as thunderclouds cover the sky. Even as no sky showed through the clouds, so also your sins did not penetrate the blood of Jesus.

Therefore, continue to turn away from those rebellious attitudes and turn to God. Lay down your sinful nature and do not feed any evil that is still lodged in your flesh. Allow the Lord to continually convert and deliver you, for He longs to bring you home again. Recall to mind how Adonai through Yeshua has relieved, restored, and refreshed you. He has reversed the curse that was put on you and He has rewarded your faith.
Jehovah has redeemed you, for you are His next of kin. He bought you back from the enemy. He is your avenger because vengance belongs to Him. He has purchased and ransomed you.
