Confessed Sins are Forgiven
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.Psalm 32:5.{WGD 231.1}[1]

这一段历史对于一切因自知有罪而感觉不配的人富有信心的教训与勉励。圣经固然据实记载了以色列背道的结果;但它也描述了他们回转而归向耶和华时所表现的深切自卑和悔改,以及他们热烈的忠诚和慷慨的捐献。[2]
黎明的灵修-第229章
For those who are convicted of sin and weighed down with a sense of their unworthiness, there are lessons of faith and encouragement in this record. The Bible faithfully presents the result of Israel’s apostasy; but it portrays also the deep humiliation and repentance, the earnest devotion and generous sacrifice, that marked their seasons of return to the Lord.{WGD 231.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第229章
每一次真诚转向耶和华的经验必能为人带来恒久的喜乐。每当一个罪人顺从圣灵的感化时,他必能看出自己的罪愆和污秽与那位鉴察人心之上帝的圣洁对照之下是何等可憎。他看出自己已经被定为违背律法的人。但他万不可因此趋于绝望,因为基督已经为他们开了赦罪的门。他尽可因确知罪已蒙赦,并因那位乐于赦罪之天父的慈爱而欢喜。上帝用慈爱的膀臂怀抱悔改的罪人,缠裹他们的创伤,除净他们的罪迹,并以救恩的衣袍给他们穿上。这乃是祂的光荣。(PK 668)[3]
黎明的灵修-第229章
Every true turning to the Lord brings abiding joy into the life. When a sinner yields to the influence of the Holy Spirit, he sees his own guilt and defilement in contrast with the holiness of the great Searcher of hearts. He sees himself condemned as a transgressor. But he is not, because of this, to give way to despair; for his pardon has already been secured. He may rejoice in the sense of sins forgiven, in the love of a pardoning heavenly Father. It is God’s glory to encircle sinful, repentant human beings in the arms of His love, to bind up their wounds, to cleanse them from sin, and to clothe them with the garments of salvation.—Prophets and Kings, 668.{WGD 231.3}[3]
黎明的灵修-第229章
大卫的诗篇描绘了属灵经历的全部过程,从良心自愧自责的深处,直到最卓越的信心和与上帝交通的最崇高境域。他一生的记录说明,罪只能带来羞辱和灾祸,而上帝的慈爱和怜悯能达到罪渊的最深处;信心能使悔改的人享受作上帝儿女的福分。在上帝圣言所包含的一切应许之中,这是一个最有力的凭据,足以证明上帝的信实,公义,和立约的慈爱。(PP 754)[4]
黎明的灵修-第229章
The Psalms of David pass through the whole range of experience, from the depths of conscious guilt and self-condemnation to the loftiest faith and the most exalted communing with God. His life record declares that sin can bring only shame and woe, but that God’s love and mercy can reach to the deepest depths, that faith will lift up the repenting soul to share the adoption of the sons of God. Of all the assurances which His Word contains, it is one of the strongest testimonies to the faithfulness, the justice, and the covenant mercy of God.—Patriarchs and, Prophets, 754.{WGD 231.4}[4]
