Blessed is he whose sins has been forgiven. So David says in Psalm 32. David had been selected for that awesome reward, like winning the lottery, to have his sins forgiven by the Lord. And without the weight of sin consciousness or singuilt bearing down on our lives,
we soar like eagles, my friends. And the good news, we are not all Jews, not all under the Mosaic Law, therefore forgiveness by Christ is available to us.
The key to forgiveness is not to hoard it like precious metals, but to dole it out freely on those we meet everyday.
"Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us."
We should be cognizant of our forgiveness, because in a perfect world, that unburdening should change us all for the better, free us up to be better people. That said, you aren't living under a set of unrealistic standards to which you have to live. Don't let religious people tell you that a standard of conduct is expected of you.
Rather, you pay forgiveness forward, treat others as the Lord has dealt with you, with abundant mercy.
Think about it, please. Appreciate the gift of mercy that has been given you by the Lord.
