Psalm 79:9: Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake!
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
And deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake. Sin—the root of the evil—is seen and confessed; pardon of sin is sought as well as removal of chastisement, and both are asked not as matters of right, but as gifts of grace. God’s name is a second time brought into the pleading. Believers will find it their wisdom to use very frequently this noble plea: it is the great gun of the battle, the mightiest weapon in the armory of prayer. 1
Living the Transformed Life
I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25
- Will you thank Him now for delivering you from the kingdom of darkness, and into the kingdom of His marvelous light?
- Will you thank Him now for delivering you from the consequences of sin, for He has blotted out all your transgressions by His saving blood?
- Will you thank Him now for delivering you from your selfish pursuits, and for giving you a new heart to pursue godly living?
The One who forgives all your sins, is also the One who remembers them no more.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for giving me grace and not the judgement I truly deserve. Dear Jesus, because of Your deliverance, teach me how to live the victorious Christian life.
