All our sins forgiven.

 All Our Sins Forgiven

A Reflection on 1 John 1:9, Psalm 103:12, and Ephesians 1:7

All our sins forgiven—not a partial, hesitant release,

But a full and final pardon, a never‑ending peace.

Not a promise for tomorrow, but a present, living grace,

That meets us in our failure and restores us to our place.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Every sin—the ones we hide in secret, the ones we shout in shame,

The ones we cannot even name, the ones that brought us endless blame.

The scarlet stains, the crimson threads, the guilt that seemed to cling—

All washed away, as far as east is from the west, by the King.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12)

Not by our tears or promises, not by our striving or despair,

But by the blood of Jesus, the answer to our prayer.

He took the debt we could not pay, He paid it in full on the tree.

And now for everyone who trusts in Him, the verdict is "Free."

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. (Ephesians 1:7)

So let the accuser bring his charges, let the memory haunt no more.

The cross has spoken once for all; love has opened heaven’s door.

All our sins forgiven—not because we are good,

But because God kept His covenant, sealed in His own blood.

Amen.
