Exodus 33:18–19 (NKJV)
18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
Exodus 34:5–7 (NKJV)
5 Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,
7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”
I The problem of sin
II God’s forgiveness of sins
III And can it be?
God is as sternly and inflexibly just towards sin as if he never
forgave iniquity, and yet he forgives sinners through Christ
Jesus as freely and fully as if he never punished a
transgression.
C. H. Spurgeon
If anybody imagines that God could simply forgive us
in the same way that we forgive one another, he has
not yet considered the seriousness
Anselm
