He Will Subdue Our Iniquities

“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. Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.” (Micah 7:18-20)

God is a merciful and forgiving God. But understand, this is not a blanket statement for all of mankind. This is for, “the remnant of his heritage”. This is for God’s elect, His chosen.

“For many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14)

The call of salvation goes out to all the world. Few will hear it and even fewer will become it.

If you have heard the good news of Jesus Christ and your spirit was stirred, even excited, possibly restless, then respond to God. Answer the call of God. Your quickened spirit is your invitation and proof of election. You just need to confirm and solidify it.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

You hear, the spirit quickens. You respond and confess. Salvation! You are born again into an eternal life for Christ!
