“I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name’s sake.” (1 John 2:12)
God doesn’t forgive you because of you. He forgives you because of Him. If you are wondering how God could forgive such a sinner as you, chances are, you are fixating on the depths of your sin.
Forgiveness never makes sense when you look at the sinner – all the sinner shows you is concentric layers of shame and evil. Forgiveness is about the grandness of the Redeemer. Look at Jesus, and only then will forgiveness make any sense. He forgave you for His name’s sake, not for yours.
