God Is Ready To Forgive
- For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. (Ps 86:5)
The word ready also means: willing, prepared, prepared to do something, and readiness of mind…
1st – God is ready: In Psalm 86:5 it says God is ready to forgive me.
2nd – God is willing: 2 Peter 3:9 says God is not slack concerning his promise, but is longsuffering towards me and God is not willing that I should I perish. He actually wants me to live forever.
3rd – God is prepared: In Romans 9:23 it says I am one of Gods vessels of mercy and he will make known to me to the riches of his glory and that beforehand he has prepared me to glory. In Hebrews 11:16 it says God is not ashamed to be called my God and he has prepared for me a city.
4th – God is prepared to do something to forgive: Romans 5:8 clearly shows how much God is prepared to do something to forgive my sins. God demonstrated his love toward me, in that while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me.
5th – God has a readiness of mind to forgive: 2 Timothy 1:9 says God has saved me, and called me with a holy calling, not according to my works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to me in Christ Jesus before the world began. Acts 2:23 says that Jesus was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. It was God’s prearranged plan – certainly shows a readiness of mind to forgive.
