Psalms 106 gives us a great summary of some of the unholy things the Israelites did against God.

Psalms 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the molded image. 24 Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word, 25 But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the Lord. 36 They served their idols, Which became a snare to them. 37 They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,

And still after all of this, God showed them love, kindness, and mercy whenever they called.

Psalms 106:44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry; 45 And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.

This mercy was shown under the law where every blessing or curse the Israelites received was based on their performance and behavior. If God could forgive and show mercy under the law, how much more forgiveness and mercy can we receive under grace?

We are under grace. In grace, Jesus took away the curse and only left us with the blessing (Gal. 3:13). In grace, Jesus sacrificed Himself for our past, present, and future sins (Heb. 9:26). In grace, God is not holding our sins against us (2 Cor. 5:19).

Regardless of what we’ve done or how far we’ve strayed, God’s forgiveness is available through Jesus Christ. Don’t allow anyone to tell you you’re not forgiven. Believe and receive what Jesus has done for you and know you are forgiven.
