Who Is God? - Exodus 34:6 - The Heart of Jesus

Sometimes we end up not being exactly who we thought we were, who we wish we were and I don't happen in our life until we get bumped a little bit rights when something happens in our lives and maybe a little bit offkilter. Maybe we get a little bit tired maybe were great person a great dad until we step on the Legos right middle of the night. Where were were great and generous person until one day we end up because Megatron actually do something for a homeless person and they wanted cash instead of a meal that we gave them or whatever right, like when something happens, we get bumped.

This is the point. What is actually on the inside ends up coming out what was on the inside will come out is, the idea of an aspirational value versus actual value. Anybody's ever started a business, or any, leadership team we understand as we put a bunch of stuff on paper about who we are, but sometimes those things are pretty aspirational. It's actually when you get bumped to get, put in a grinder that what's in their actually comes out. The illustration of use before is like a big picture water like this, which I'm sure at our campus.

As you guys are the command. He seems like he's really thirsty to sleep this week, but the idea here is that I could cut a rut. I could come back like I'm in a knock it over. What we understand is that right now the moment of resting. This is just going to come sit there right but if I begin to cut a wobble of this table begins to wobble it start to shake what is eventually going to happen is that what is inside comes outside.

Now here's the point. They were to make this weekend right you can't go and bump God to figure out what's going to come out of him. But if you were to bump him. What is most natural is what's going to come out and if you were to bump God what comes out of him, maybe a little bit different than maybe what we think would come out of him because would come out of him would be something more akin to goodness, kindness, mercy, grace these the things that would come out of God's steadfast love, faithfulness to God that is slow to anger, this might be a God. This might be a version of God or vision of God, the maybe have a considered maybe haven't thought about very well right.

I know you're part of our part of our series, you been in this series been walking through this with us. If I said to you hey man, what are the words that come to your mind to describe God if you been a part of this series, your urine abusively is like a menu for me once.

Okay, so what because my mind is not annoyed, frustrated, exacting, you know what is comes my mind is not rigid, what's gonna come to my mind is grace and mercy and all that and that's good enemies were getting somewhere with this but a lot of times are most natural thoughts about God, what we think is man.

He's standing there with his thumb over our head and he's just ready to to squash is because what is actually in him that would come out his wrath in its region and its annoyance and its frustrated border to see today from exit chapter 34 is really what comes out of double is most natural to him is the exact opposite of that. Here's the big idea at all of our locations. If you're taking notes today are right, God is most naturally most naturally merciful, gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. You want the greatest things that were to see today in our text is that God is not like us. What is most natural size is not was most natural to him was most natural to him actually is what is most unnatural us many times we spent a lifetime trying to get what we want to be true bus on the outside. How we react in the way that we think about things. How quick we are to anger, mercy, grace, forgiveness. We are so reluctant to forgive.

We want those things to be very natural to us just what they are natural to God. That's because of his heart because of who he is working to see that said exit chapter 34. Actually, if you have a copy of Scripture. I want to invite you to take it out and turn with me to Exodus chapter 34 guys as your attorney to Exodus 34 today to let me make a brief aside and let me tell you that one of the greatest things that we do all year as a church is happening here. About three weeks.

Okay kids week is upon us. Hundreds of kids are going to descend across all of our campuses, locations, and this if your heart is to it being is to move the needle for the kingdom of God that something like kids week is an absolute dream come true right I want you guys to hear it.

All of our locations. There will be hundreds of kids that come to our kids week this very will in the coming three weeks in and of the last part of June.

There will be hundreds of kids that hear about Jesus Christ. One time a year they get to hear about this God were to talk about merciful grace is slow to anger, steadfast in love and faithfulness. Once a year.

There should be kids that come upon all of our campuses. Their home life is an absolute chaos. They don't hear about Christ. Nobody ever says anything to midcity worth anything know wizards be imported, but to get a come here. Maybe they get a learn. The church is a refuge in God is a refuge for them and fire us up ma'am we should have listen Chris is erratically normal things in the car you something were about halfway what we need to be with our volunteers right now okay from people jumping off the sideline and get into the front line to get onto the game here and I'm telling you Christians erratically normal stuff like take off work so they can come here for a day or week.

Okay, that's the radical normal Christian life, and I will call you to do that entire groups need to be thinking about serving together. If you absolutely can't get off work. Great news were doing.

They were due not on the subject is about escorting the kids week okay were doing kids week for fourth and fifth grade at night at the student center can get off work great. We have a night option for you to serve alongside all be there while his daughter will be there as well serving so hyped. Hope you guys will jump in and out with us there. All right, Exodus 34 let's talk about the God that were to be teaching about. Then during kids, we can reread this with me to the Lord passed before him and proclaimed the Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the children's children to the third and the fourth generation. Now one of the great things about Exodus 34 and I don't have time to go back and get into all the history about where Moses is and how the golden calf and I get all the frustrations all that, stuff what we find in Exodus 34 is that Moses has asked the bold audacious asked me one of the biggest questions, all the Bible of God that Moses, as in Exodus 30 through one of biggest faith questions. He says I want to see your glory that comes out of Exodus chapter 33 in an this passage that I share with you already is sort of the response that God hides any passes by him.

He gives him his name and he says hey this is who I am now this passage. Exodus 34 guys is one of the most foundational passages in all of Scripture okay and I don't I know why. If it feels like you last couple of my thoughts are that a few times like this. The most important facet. Okay, I know that but but no statistically right. This passage is quoted more than any other passage in the Scripture what what I was things like this way to John 316 is pervasive in our culture.

Exodus 34 six is pervasive in the Bible is is all over the Scripture is quoted its reference. Here's my question for this weekend.

Why why this passage where God says this is who I am. I think one of the reasons why is because we most naturally think the opposite way about God what we think about when God comes to our mind what we begin to think about is a harsh taskmaster judge someone who is waiting to squash just like the bugs we are because we can't get a ride and he said there with his arms folded toward us and he's angry and we don't see the tenderness and mercy may be in the grace and steadfast love and faithfulness and the slowness anger. Maybe that's why the Bible picks up on this theme over and over and over to try to get us to see hate the way in your sin that you will think about God is not actually the right weight, do you know how I know that we gravitate toward maybe the wrong view because let's read this again right you guys if you been around church, or maybe if you just come around church culture you're gonna know what I mean here. Let's read this one more time together that I got a question for you. The Lord passed before him and proclaim the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness verse seven. Keeping steadfast love for thousands, and probably we all just thought just by way probably means thousands of generations is about to talk about third and fourth generation.

Okay so by thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation. Here's my question of all of that and I just read what is the one part of that to get picked up on so pervasively in our culture people don't know the Bible know this verse.

Why do they know it because of God's abounding mercy and love and all that. Or how many times have we heard in our culture will you no sense of the father right since the third and fourth generation by God is God is really got to get you for that right are even our culture people don't know the Bible. They know this passage, but I know it for the wrong reason. How about that. We all know part of the verse that keeps us from getting the points of the verse, the point of the verse is the contrast between men what we actually think about God in his heart and who he actually is that he is not a God to let things slide were to get into that. That's obvious from this passage, but also he is a God who went when you shake him what would come out most naturally is grace, mercy, abounding in steadfast love, faithfulness, and a slowness to anger. My point is this. We think about God as vengeful taskmaster judge we think about him with his thumb over our head, but in Exodus chapter 33 when Moses goes for the big bold ask God says okay I'm gonna pass by you clucked on the past by you and him and declare who I am to you and you're going to see my glory and listened as the point when Moses sees and understands and experiences the glory of God the manifest presence of God. He doesn't just experience God's greatness, he experiences his goodness as well. God's glory isn't just about his greatness. It's about his goodness is not just about lightning flashing and thunder clapping.

It's not just about Creator's sovereign righteous judge, which he is all those things okay don't don't don't misunderstand what I'm saying. He is all those things gloriously, he is all of those things, but he's not just those things. When Moses says in Exodus 33 I was your glory. God says to him I will show you my goodness, mercy and grace, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness he proves to be good toward us. You know there's a famous theologian had a famous quote and I think the famous quote is really out here. Here's what a tomatoes are said what comes into our minds we think about God is the most important thing about us. What comes into your mind church. What comes into your mind when you think about God. You see him as the righteous judge sovereign may lightning flashing on the mound. That's part of it that can never be a race. It needs to be there and celebrate in worship for that but at the same time we also see that he is tender toward us that his heart is not a body go to talk about the heart of Christ is a might you might say, will the Old Testament are we, God the father got the signed of the spirit always. I think the point of this passage. Exodus 3033 should really show us the heart of God father son and Spirit is not divided okay this is who he is and all of his fullness. You shake him a what is gonna come out is goodness. There are five ways that God is described here actually said that way. More to the point that God describes himself here. Okay there five things that God says about himself in here and usually says not to go through one through five and a group a couple of them together. The first was this God says I am merciful and gracious, that's really the first two okay mercy and grace. You have explained to this before and am I going to be a definition again will be on the screen. Mercy is not receiving what is deserve that something is being withheld. I deserve this sentence I deserve this punishment write anything as being withheld at the hand of God staying what is deserve, but grace is different. Grace is receiving. What is it deserved okay grace is.

You didn't deserve this. And there's nothing that you could have done to earn this what you have done is not good enough for what I am giving you 11.

One commentator said like this. He said Mama Prof. to be like somebody turned in a paper that the sea paper, but what I what they asked me if they say hey man, but my grade up to me they have a little grace that's not grace. Grace isn't you did some of the work and got a CD and I will bump you up a little bit. Grace is saying that you have done nothing to deserve this grace is on the step and write a paper for you then grade myself and give you an A+ that would be grace, mercy, something is withheld. Grace is that something is given. Limits are very very specifically here to many of us are different locations this weekend. Listen, I know this because were in a church in the South is growing and here's what that means. That means a lot of people that are jumping it, which is awesome were so excited for that. But I don't know some of us might be come in and I have all of this religious kind of background. And here's what's going on something is off with your relationship with God and you're not quite sure what it is is I never thought of doing the thing like I go to church and I try to be good or not, but for some reason, like there's not start up. As I see other people you know is not feeling you may be the product be a lot of problems, but you know it may be one of the main problem is. Maybe you don't understand the concept of grace. At its most basic level that may be what is going on. This happens all in the South. I maybe was going on is your China barter with God a little bit and what you're saying is Gotto reluctantly give you my religion if you reluctantly give me your salvation. I'm using as always, I love you, I heard people say like them. I'm try to get the pearly gates. Okay I'm try to win awards but I just try to get him to try to get there. I've heard people say, things like that.

Were they doing their bartering with their life there. St. Helena dual armadillo but the thing and I'm hoping to get something back from you and that's going to be my relationship with you and Mrs. the concept of grace you very famous preacher once told the story Charles Spurgeon. He told the story of of mercy and grace. And here's what he said. He said there was once a farmer in a long long time ago fairytale type a long time ago and he had a peasant farmer anyhow this this beautiful garden or whatever and he grew the greatest care that is ever been made was that it was the most full is the biggest was greatest Karen's government and he was so excited about the king and the way that he got to live in peace and he was so grateful for his family and the fact that this king was a good king of Proverbs talks about that, but a good king is such a unit just such a blessing to the people that he did immediate thought became his mind was man I want to bless my king because of what he is given he has given us himself. He has given us protection when he is here he is with us. I want to give him this is a ghost of the king, and he says king.

There's a greatest carrot I've ever produced in my garden of the garden.

My whole life and I want you to have it because I love you and am so grateful for you and the king was over well I Melissa King that owns everything.

Do not give him something to his liking me as I know this kind of thought you government system and all that the king is so overwhelmed he looks at the garden on the way out the form and he says the form. He says I have a plot of land in the field is beyond your wildest imagination, and I want you to have it. I want you to have it and garden from it. I wonder how I want to be under your care because of how you have blessed me this day and that the farmer is just overcoming issues.

He's on dunamis was not expecting this tears the whole thing was a nobleman that hears everything is going on in a nobleman, says man and my man and my boy got up for a Karen once you get a gift for my pride stallion from I heard him a horse breeder and horse trader Wesley comes the next day and he comes to the king.

This is all great you know more and wonderful K or whatever, and any says I love you so much. I have a gift for you and I want you to have the pride of my herd of horses, and bring you this beautiful stallion is rocked up huge you horse and beautiful kingly horse and I to his absolute shock and amazement, the king very discerning looks at him and says thank you and thanks for horse right and the guys dumbstruck just gave away the greatest possession I have and the greatest siren.

All of my herd in the king explained to him later. He said you know that former gave me the Karen but you were try to give yourself the source you understand what I'm getting at your trying to barter with something in order to get something from the king that you really don't love. And you'll feel like has given you the greatest gift already, which is himself.

You're trying to gain something from him.

I wonder how many of us today. It's a simple man something's wrong with my relation with God is a simple as this may you'll quite understand grace your China barter. What can I bring God who give me just enough.

What can I bring that he'll bless me and you don't quite realize man in our sin, and in our depravity. There is nothing to bring and everything to gain and when we begin to understand that man unlocks our heart to see God for who he is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness and we begin to be overwhelmed about who he is in the fact that he would choose us at all.

The next one is this right am on another group,, grew both all three of these together.

Exodus 34 six slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. That's really three things okay Zavala to break this down, mercy, grace, and then we get into the slowest anger, steadfast love, and to faithfulness, but I'm going to try to bring them together little be here right the first time I go through him him him pretty quick.

The first one says this to God is slow to anger and can we see removal were try to do five or more targeted. Who is God, if I but you can't love God okay but you can about them. What is most natural men were good a cover note was most natural. We little bumps we little tired.

What's natural comes out with on the inside will come out if you bump God what would come out and the third thing on this list is that if you bumped him unlike us. He is slow to anger. I don't know about anybody else during this whole series on the tape for me. This is the one and this is one of the last several weeks in the series.

That is the quickest to bring tears to my eyes because I begin to realize his great patience with me that he is so slow to anger Paul.

Paul said this I meet I former persecutor of the church turn into St. Louis. We just gloss right over that that this is the type of God.

They can take even that heinous sin of our past threats murdering all and embryo and what is what is taught how to pulse on the first Timothy. He says God has great patience with me. He has great patience.

You met Michael and his vibrators must quickly is like young professional how how how slow to anger, are we with our coworkers right you got some of somebody who's in the classroom to be a teacher or coach.

How slow to anger, are we with those that we have been put in charge of meat. Certainly for me think about parents.

How quick to anger, are we with our kids. Can we not see here. This is what is so mind blowing to me that when I think about my own life. I think about how quick to anger.

I can be, or at least how I can like patients with maybe those around me or read by kids at times or whatever and I realize what is God doing in the very moment that I'm not doing it. You understand I think about it, God demonstrates his great patience in the moment that we are showing nine we were showing. The time is when he is showing his great patience towards us guys you bump him. That's what comes out is anything we see hears these abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Those are the same thing but I'm from Sega, treat them together here that this idea of a a love and a faithfulness. I think the idea here is that it goes on and on and it is a loyal love is is a love that is there and is on indigo. We have a team right now in a high jungle Paris right now. Okay. And this is so exciting for me because I just think about Alaska years encoded in PPO band of the planes got grounded. You know, we didn't have our teams going out. One of things I love about the surgeon fired up about our direction for missions is nothing greater, I think, to getting people into long-term habits of giving, praying, going to the nations than short-term trips, and so to see art to see the planes get back going again. I'm really excited about this for our church and so I don't think about them during the high jungle Paris right now and I've been there a been there multiple times with our teams when we have we have a team that is there now. Caleb and Morgan raised him from the church college ministry all the way no there there are reaching indigenous people group in the high jungle, but I've been there and one of the shocking things about where you go where they are were team is right now is that so much of the time when you're driving around you look up and you're in the mountains, but it's a total jungle. Okay it's it's a green jungle, but it's amount and right on the top of those mountains will be driving a go to see one after another after another massive cascading waterfalls and are not halfway down the mountain. I'm there at the very top and there cascading down what that shows you is somewhere up on that river. There are springs that are feeding and and the springs are and and there cascading and sit there that there's there if there feeding the river. It's cascading out and it's gushing in a been doing it for thousand years is a good word picture for us loyal love made. There is a spring bubbling this is what's in God's heart. There is a steadfast love. There is a faithfulness that is bubbling and overflowing. Been doing it since time began even before that thousand years. These waterfalls are going. It's just a picture of what God is like in his heart that it is gushing and his love overflows for us. This is what God is like five things is beautiful to beautiful picture for us were to stand in all this and remember this in worship today acts are all one application here just a few minutes is risky to be worship and sit and think about and remember and communion and all that, several were not quite there yet okay because I gotta make sure we understand that verse six and seven go together now that this is what we gotta get into here and I will make the point you get into the five things I just mention grace, mercy, slow to anger, steadfast love, faithfulness, somebody might enter covenant people in this day that might've said well okay God is those things he would never hold us accountable for sin right like you know what versus justice versus righteousness, and all of this. That's why verse seven goes right, together with a liquid says keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children to the third and the fourth generation. The last piece of this before we get into applying any of this, we gotta see is made. Do not get it twisted that we do see that what is most natural to God's mercy and grace, but at the same time he will hold accountable everyone for everything they have ever done. We have a choice. Will God have poured out his wrath on me over my sin.

We pour his wrath out on another were to get into that before we get into that what we gotta see is this phrasing here. How can we serve a God that both forgives, but he also doesn't clear people he forgives those who come to him in repentance.

But the Scripture said here that he visits the iniquity he will not clear the guilty. What is this mean is very simple. When we come to him in repentance because of the gospel because of what Christ is not there is forgiveness that is available for us. But if we do not do this, then we will by no means be forgiven that the sin in our life, we will be held accountable for it. I know there's a famous passage. People say that all tents in a sense of the father are passed down all accounts of what people understand is that the passage is getting at when the sins of the father are passed down to the kids, meaning that when children walk in the sins of their fathers, they will experience the punishment of their fathers to it. It's not like my father sin and I'm getting the punishment. The idea here is not enough. It's it's not like I have a disease and you have the effects of it know it's like I have the disease and you caught the disease for me and now you're experiencing the effects of this is the God that we serve. And this is where listen. It gets very deep because how can we have a God where you have these two glorious truths that come together number one there is something about this God in his mercy and grace in the steadfast love allows him to be the type of God and if you book him what comes out is forgiveness and what comes out of the heart that is is leaping to forgive and to bring you in and at the same time.

He is a God who will not clear the guilty man how these two things begin to come together we needed to come together to look around the world do not.

I said this earlier got a like us right was was natural to him is the opposite for us. But you know what else we did understand today man. God is unlike any other God.

God God is like any other deity that's worship.

This is why he is so different. What you think about the deities that comes your mind.

There are there are so-called gods in the world that what absolute delight and having a punishment is what they want to do the old-timers say they would climb a tree to get up on somebody else down there had to guess, let somebody down into that that there is not type deity figure in the world course where we live.

Maybe it's for the spiritual climate. The worry now is how the opposite is like map there. There's a God who is full of grace and mercy of Allah, but he would never ever know actually hold somebody accountable for their sin.

What I want you guys to see is that we need this deity.

The true deity we need a God who holds these two glorious truths together. We don't need. If there was a God who all he did was live to slap us that we could never love him and if there is a God who would never hold people accountable for sin.

We will look around the world and we would see race-based shootings like the one in Buffalo. 10 people murdered. We would see you Baldy in the school shootings we would see church murders California met we would see things that break our heart denomination churches sex abuse cases coming out stonewalling. We would see all those things and all the sudden we would look at a God, we would say God really good.

Do not God that would do justice if there's a God that lives to do nothing. The slap us down. We can never love him if there is a God who would never step in and intervene and pour out his wrath over sin. I don't know how we could trust him right.

I don't know how we could we could be drawn to actually say he is worthy of our worship. Thankfully, the God of the Bible you have this unique deity. This God who says men.

My heart gushes with mercy and grace, but at the same time don't get it twisted verse seven, forgiving iniquity and transgression us and transgression of sin.

But who will by no means clear the guilty. How do we have a God were both of those things are true. He doesn't think this ain't a God who's who would stand on his head is left somebody down he stand on his head to forgive. At the same time, he will not clear the guilty when they have not turned to him and repentance was the fullest picture this, I hope you guys are seeing this. Don't you see Jesus in this don't you see the cross. Don't you see where all this is going met at the mercy and the grace and the justice and righteousness may work the mercy and grace of God shines and dazzles like a diamond in the sun and yet his justice and his righteousness are vindicated happens in the cross and this is what the Bible does you know this this text is very connected you most, Moses I love this Moses to show your glory and God says my words not the Bible better get your sunglasses on. Okay, when we hide you because this is this how the word we see even a fuller picture of the glory of God. We see the face of Jesus Christ. Right what is on one site. John one says this and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, member glory is not just greatness know it is but it's his goodness, glory as of the only son from the father.

Listen filled with grace and truth. Where can God blush with grace and mercy and an extent since the analyst had to pull people into himself and yet have everything that he ever said about sin and righteousness and holiness. Be true that all comes together when Jesus Christ, the son of God is an absolutely sinless life. It then says out of love for you. I will go to the cross where his grace and mercy and justice and righteousness all collide one dazzles one is vindicated, and this is what we have in the cross, then Jesus Christ went to the cross to die to take the penalty of our sin. God could forgive us of our sin, because his wrath was rightly poured out on Christ. I had had his when we do right because the Bible said to forgive some and some he never clears would you repent of your sin. Would you come to him in faith. That's what the Bible calls us to do that we would come to him even is very weak and I know that next week you listen your partner mercy till he got up next week.

It is usual and you have a Wii, but they cannot bring a bring next weekend. Okay, but this weekend is probably a lot of people here in your is and what will I do. He forgives and yet he doesn't clear the guilty have you repented of your sin, to put your faith in Christ. Are you still trying to barter reluctantly give some in your life so that you can get some of God's salvation daughters ordered a new man were to go into a time at all the locations were elders and campus pastors are going to be a actually their closing sermon this weekend. Okay there. They got the conclusion so try to set them up here but here's order to do this. The only applications we can remember God's goodness and not so easy way for me to say, mercy, grace, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness right remember his goodness and worship him for God's glory manifests itself not just in his greatness, but in his goodness is well in his forgiving and in his yet not clearing. There is not one sin. There is not one injustice. There is not one bit of brokenness that will not be writing God's wrath will be poured out over all sin either. Jesus took it for people who put their faith in him and repents, or it will be poured out upon humanity for all time and a place called Hill five of one of the say this way for servants to do a geyser so much that we can say and will continue to talk about these things but don't you understand that this is the framework for how we view the world in a world with Buffalo in a world with you Baldy. In a world with with sex abuse reports that come out and stonewalling denominations. All this, this is how we have to view it and see it. You gotta realize together.

Wait a minute. We serve a God whose who sees it all. We talked about God, whose heart breaks even though he knows he's gonna fix everything we see that with Christ Lazarus man's heart breaks. We also see his justified wrath over these things and that either perpetrators and offenders.

What will they they will bear the brunt of that wrath for all time and a place called hell, or even they when they turn and they repent and even day experience the grace of God in Jesus Christ has taken it for them, don't we understand what Paul said I am the chief of sinners he understood but for God's great grace and great patience. I am the chief of sinners, even the most heinous crime, submission face just consequence of this world absolutely should.

But in terms of a relationship with God. There is nothing under the sun the falls on the purging of his grace, and yet we have a God that says men I can forgive even that, but if not, one of the ways I can wipe away tears as you fully understanding my wrath will be poured out in every right wrong will be writing they made up for yourself and I can't today makes a major trauma big tragedies the world whatever okay this what Paul said in first Timothy one. Submitting to me, but can we not get there in our own heart and realize that yeah I don't I don't know. I have no idea what everybody's past me.

I don't know what I do know is whether many of us that have dealt with pride. There's many people have dealt with sexual centers. Many people have dealt with a lack of patience or outburst of anger or a million other things that should absolutely borrow us that the wrath of God, should bear down upon us, and yet Christ has stood in for us while we should never be cleared.

We should internally be guilty and we can be the ones who are counted as forgiven. You know why that is because you can't do it but if you could bump him won't come out his grace and mercy, slow to anger, steadfast love and faithfulness
