OUR FATHER WHO FORGIVES, REDEEMS AND HEALS US

Psalm 103 verses 3 - 5 exhorts us to praise the Lord;

who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

This passage reveals the extravagant love that the Lord has for His people.

He forgives our sin and heals our afflictions and redeems us from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion and satisfies our desires with good things and renews our youth.

For even though we were all lost in our sins and hostile to God, He paid the extremely high price to redeem us and heal us by giving His body to be broken for us and by giving up His life that we might live.

As well as saving us, the Lord made extraordinary provisions for those who fear Him and believe in Him by loving us with an immeasurably great love and by removing our sins far away from us. Psalm 103 verses 11 - 12 says it this way;

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Let us bless our God who so lavishly loves us.

Amen.
