Numbers 23:21a
He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel.
I've been seeing a lot of wickedness in Israel as I've been reading through the Bible. Just in chapter 21 the people were speaking out agains God. Is this thing that God told Balaam to speak a mistake? I may be over simplifying it. But to me it means when God says He forgives and accepts our repentance, He really does. Does He know we are going to fail again? Of course. But the sacrifice for sin cleans the slate. And Jesus, the final and only perfect sacrifice, has taken my sin and given me His righteousness. It's a righteousness not of my own doing that God sees when He looks at me.
