He Took My Sins Away

Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments. Deut. 7:9

Our God is faithful. The Psalms are full of reminders of how He has been faithful to David and His people. David often extols God’s faithfulness.

Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Psalm 36:5

Indeed, the story in the Bible is one long story of the faithfulness of our God. His people are repeatedly unfaithful, but He remains. His faithfulness is shown in the sending of His son to redeem His people, to reconcile them to Himself, to give us eternal security and save us from death. This faithfulness was foreshadowed even in the very beginning, just after Eve was deceived by Satan. God promised Hope. And He delivered.

We were sinners, and yet God rescued us. While we were STILL sinners, he sent His Son to save us. We are forgiven, and yet as humans, we are still prone to sin. But God is faithful, and He forgives us if we confess.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9

Know that He has been faithful to forgive you, and faithful to provide a cure for your sin-filled life that separated you from Him. Rejoice that God has been faithful to us in providing His Son, and taking our sins away.

He Took My Sins Away
Words by Margaret Harris

I came to Jesus, weary, worn, and sad.
He took my sins away, He took my sins away.
And now His love has made my heart so glad,
He took my sins away.

Refrain
He took my sins away, He took my sins away,
And keeps me singing every day!
I’m so glad He took my sins away,
He took my sins away.

The load of sin was more than I could bear.
He took my sins away, He took my sins away.
And now on Him I roll my ev’ry care,
He took my sins away.

No condemnation have I in my heart,
He took my sins away, He took my sins away.
His perfect peace He did to me impart,
He took my sins away.

If you will come to Jesus Christ today,
He’ll take your sins away, He’ll take your sins away,
And keep you happy in His love each day,
He’ll take your sins away.
