"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered."
What sweet words these (above) are, for those who are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, by grace through faith. "Blessed" is "happy." Those whose sins are forgiven are blissful and free--they realize that they have been given a magnificent gift, and that they are no longer bound by the prison bars of sin, death, and condem-
nation.
*This* is true happiness: to have one's sins forgiven. Nothing can replace this: no amount of money, no degree of good health, none of the good things of the world. If you are forgiven your sins today, take time to heartily thank your Heavenly Father for the gracious sacrifice of His Son Jesus, on your soul's behalf.
