1-30-08 Psalm 32:1, 2 Your Transgression is Forgiven

Psalm 32: 1, 2 (NAS)
(A Psalm of David. A Maskil.)
How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!
Psalm 32: 1, 2 (NLT)
Oh, what joy for those whose rebellion is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight! Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin, whose lives are lived in complete honesty!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the time of Adam, men have broken away from the just authority that was over them. Their sin and transgressions kept them in constant rebellion and revolt against Adonai. If He would tell them to go one way, these sinners would turn and quickly go in the opposite direction.

You, however, have discovered how happy and how blessed a man can be, for the Lord has lifted your transgressions from you. He has placed you on the straight and level path. He is leading and guiding you forward into a place of prosperity. You now know the relief that comes when your sins are forgiven, carried away, and burned up. You have been pardoned for you yielded to the will of the Almighty. Your crimes and offenses have been covered and hidden.

Jehovah calls you blessed and pronounces that you are happy. Why is that? The Lord has judged that you are no longer bent and twisted. When He looks at you now, He no longer sees any perversity, depravity, iniquity, or guilt. You are not charged with any wrong. You know that God esteems and values you. He has put His Spirit within you because you are no longer filled with treachery and deceit.
