“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. … Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.”
—Psalm 51:7, 9, NKJV
Billy Graham said, “God’s forgiveness is not just a casual statement; it is the complete blotting out of all the dirt … of our past, present and future. The only reason our sins can be forgiven is that, on the cross, Jesus Christ paid their full penalty. [But] only as we bow at the foot of the cross, in contrition, confession, and repentance, can we find forgiveness.”
