First, notice the picture above and praise the Lord Jesus for casting your sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18 says Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. DL Moody said "Our sins can't be found floating on the surface of the seas because Jesus has removed our sins in the undiscoverable depths of the seas." Our sins are not floating on the top of the sea to be discovered and soon God will remove the sea with our sins that will be forgotten and removed forever. John said at Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
You might say why did Jesus cast our sins into the depths of the sea instead of on the backside of the moon? It's because the Lord knew that some bird was going to build a flying contraption to discover the backside of the moon. But no one has ever discovered the very bottom of the ocean where our sins are forgotten by God. Corrie Ten Boom said that God buries our sins in the depths of the sea and then puts up a sign that reads, "No fishing."
Second, notice the picture above of Moses looking at the back parts of God and praise the Lord Jesus for casting your sins behind His back. Isaiah 38:17 says Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
The face of Jesus was so bright that Moses could only look upon His back parts and live. Exodus 33:22 says And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. After salvation with the Lord Jesus, all our sins are behind God's back where no devil can find them and haunt us because no devil can pass by the brightness of God's face. In the kingdom of God there will be no devil, bad thoughts, or any memory of our past sins. Isaiah 65:16 says That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear in the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Notice the picture above and rejoice that the Lord Jesus has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12 says As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He (the Lord Jesus) removed our transgressions from us. This is saying God has removed our sins forever because the distance from the east to the west is immeasurable. The mercy of God is as far as the east is from the west.

Take time to read this blessed little story. There were two little boys; a christian boy and a lost unsaved boy. The christian boy said I am so happy; I got saved and God cast all my sins behind His back out of His sight. The lost unsaved boy replied so what when God turns around, He'll see your sins again. The christian boy replied; No, God can't see my sins because when God turns around, His back turns around with Him.
Third, pictured above we see that after someone gets saved, God blots out their sins as a thick cloud. Isaiah 44:22 says I (God) have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. The Hebrew definition of sins being blotted out means that our sins have been obliterated, abolished, and destroyed for ever where there is no memory of our sins. DL Moody described how our sins are blotted out as a thick cloud. DL Moody said you see a cloud tonight, and you get up early in the morning, and it is gone. Can you find the cloud? Never. There may be other clouds, but that cloud will never appear in the history of the universe. God says He will blot sin out like a thick cloud.
A Blessed Story Explaining How God Blots Out A Christian's Sins
A little boy and his mom saw a big storm with a big black cloud. The little boy said Mom, when will the lightning stop flashing, the thunder stop booming, and that big black cloud go away? When the storm was over, the little boy said Mom will that storm and black cloud ever come back? The mom replied, No honey, that storm and black cloud are gone for ever and will not be remembered anymore. God does this with a christian's sins when He blots them out as a thick cloud and removes them for ever.
Also note that the bible says at Isaiah 43:25 I, even I (God), am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. To explain this bible verse read the blessed story below about the schoolteacher pictured above.
A schoolteacher in a little one room schoolhouse in 1822 wrote on the blackboard all the bad things the children did that day. She wrote out cheating, lying, bad temper, and stealing. She told the children, You've done these bad things and I should punish you, whip you, and keep you after school. But instead of punishing the children for their sins, the teacher taught them a lesson about the forgiveness of God.
The teacher took an eraser and told the children I'm going to blot out and erase all your sins written on this blackboard. After the teacher erased cheating, lying, bad temper, and stealing, she told the children now there's nothing on the blackboard against you. Children, this is what God does with your sins when you get saved with the Lord Jesus. God blots out your transgressions and does not remember them any more. Since God blotted out all our sins, we need to forgive others and forget their sins because God has forgotten our sins.
Left click the picture above and read what the teacher wrote on the blackboard instead of the childrens' sins. The teacher wrote kind hearts are the garden, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the flowers, and kind deeds are the fruits.

The Measurements Of Mercy
Mercy Is As The Heaven Is High Above The Earth
Fourth, rejoice about how the mercy of God is measured. Psalm 103:11 says For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. First let's look at the height of God's mercy to lost sinners. The hubble telescope has viewed billions of stars above us that are 200 million light years away (note that a light year is 5.9 trillion miles). It has also viewed galaxies 50 million light years away. But to find out the height of God's mercy to lost sinners, one must travel above the stars and galaxies to God's mercy seat in the third heaven's kingdom of God.
The Lord Jesus showed us the height of God's mercy when He traveled from the throne room of the third heaven and came down past the stars and galaxies to this earth. Jesus became a man and died for our sins on the cross of Calvary. Then Jesus took His own blood that He shed at the cross of Calvary all the way back to the third heaven past the stars and galaxies and put His own blood on God's mercy seat so every sinner could have mercy and get their sins removed forever. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
The Measurements Of Mercy
Mercy Is As Far As The East Is From The West
Notice the picture above and rejoice that the Lord Jesus has removed our sins as far as the east is from the west. Psalm 103:12 says As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He (the Lord Jesus) removed our transgressions from us. This is saying God has removed our sins forever because the distance from the east to the west is immeasurable. The mercy of God is as far as the east is from the west.
I'm glad God didn't remove my sins as far as the north is from the south where the devil could find my sins and bring them to my remembrance. This is because the north and south have ending points at the North and South Pole. But there is no location where the east or west ends. God removed my sins as far as the east is from the west, and the devil will not find my sins that God forgets forever.
When you go east, you go east with no end. When you go west, you go west with no end. One day the devil was looking for Brother Bob and his friends' sins. The devil said I'm going to go east to find their sins and when he got to the west he realized he was going east and couldn't find our sins. Then the devil said I'm going to go west to find their sins and when he got to the east he realized that he was going west and couldn't find our sins. Tell the devil, devil you'll never find my sins because God has removed my sins as far as the east is from the west and they can't be found. And I'm not going to travel as far as the east is from the west to get reacquainted with my sins again. To sum it all up, God's mercy is infinite with Jesus vertically from the earth to God's mercy seat in the third heaven and horizontally from the east to the west.
Fifth, lets all rejoice that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7 says But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. Right now friend reading this anywhere, look at Jesus Christ crucified by faith with your heart, and I claim in Jesus name all thoughts of guilt from past sins will be removed by the blood of Jesus. This is proven by Hebrews 9:14 that says How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge (cleanse) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us how to remove bad thoughts and receive peace of mind. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. In other words place every bad thought by faith on the cross of Calvary with Jesus and the bad thought will immediately disappear. It's impossible to think a bad thought when you look at Jesus Christ crucified by faith. Right now close your eyes and look by faith at Jesus Christ crucified while you tell the devil I am crucified with Jesus Christ and bad thoughts will disappear. The blood of Jesus Christ is a fence that the devil can't get through to place any bad thought into your mind.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
