“Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all” (Psalm 65:3 NLT).
HOW MANY OF YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN? When we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that he died for sins, was buried and raised from the dead, we are saved.

After describing a coming day of the Lord’s judgment, Isaiah prophesied of a “new heaven and a new earth” (Isa.65:17), a time when the predator and the prey will no longer be at enmity. With the new creation, there will be a new order where peace will reign. This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled.
“Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all” (Psalm 65:3 NLT)
When we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in our hearts that he died for sins, was buried and raised from the dead, we are saved. In that very moment, we have been saved from sin’s penalty (justification), we are being saved from sin’s power (sanctification), and we will be saved from sin’s presence (glorification). So, when we receive Christ’s payment for our sins, how many of our sins are forgiven? Past ones? Present? What about tomorrow? The answer: In Christ, God forgives “them all.” For this, the apostle Paul exulted, “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1).
“All of us must come to you. Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, you forgive them all” (Psalm 65:2-3)
