I was reading Psalm 99. In verse 6 Moses, Aaron, and Samuel were mentioned. Verse 8 says, “You answered them, O Lord our God; You were to them God-Who-Forgives, though You took vengeance on their deeds.”

Psalm 130:3-4 says, “If You Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who can stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” Ephesians 1:7 says, “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.”

Jesus’ death brought forgiveness of our past, present, and future sins. When He cried out, ‘It is finished!’ it meant that the full payment for our sins was complete. Yet, the consequences for our sins were not wiped out. What do we do with them? They are trials we must endure, because they are purifiers of our faith. 1 Peter 1:7.
