Who is a God like You

Who is a God like You

" Who is a God like You , who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance? You do not stay angry forever—but delight to show mercy!" Micah 7:18

How ready is our God to pardon! In the foresight of our fall and transgressions—He devised the plan of mercy. He purposed to give His beloved Son for our redemption, and in the fullness of time He delivered Him for our sins, that . . .
  the claims of Divine justice might be met,
  His law honored, and
  His righteousness maintained.
Thus at infinite cost He opened a channel through which His mercy might flow freely to the guilty.

How ready then is He to pardon! Forgiveness is in His heart—He delights in mercy.

How abundantly does He pardon! Our sins may be more numerous than the hairs of our head, and our transgressions may be attended with peculiar aggravations; but when the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts—He is plenteous in mercy towards them, and abundantly pardons.

How strikingly does our blessed Lord set forth the freeness and fullness of God's pardoning mercy—as He describes the father of the prodigal running out to meet him, falling on his neck and kissing him, clothing him with the best robe, feasting him with the fattened calf, and rejoicing over him with great gladness!

"Great God of wonders! all Your ways
  Are worthy of Yourself, Divine!
  But the fair glories of Your grace
  More Godlike and unrivaled shine!
  Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?"
