Full Acquittal

"O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption."

Psalm 130:7

"He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins."

Psalm 130:8

Verse 7: "O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption."

Psalm 130 moves from failure to forgiveness to fellowship, and finally, to an affirmation of the ultimate freedom in God. David cries, "O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption" (130.7).

Notice, David mentions 3 wonderful gifts required of us to finish well: forgiveness, unfailing love, and full redemption. The word "full" could be translated "plenteous."

God's provision is a plenteous pardon! Yes, there is room at the cross for you and me! Jesus has paid it all!

According to David in verse 8, God the Father has already charged our sins to His Son and has paid the debt in full.

Verse 8: "He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins."

This redemption refers to the Messiah. Matthew 1:21: "And she will bear a Son and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins" (NASB).

The psalmist first commands Israel in verse 7 to "put your hope in the Lord." The remainder of the verse is the reason for the command. It is 2-fold: (1) "for with the Lord is unfailing love" and (2) "with him is full redemption." It would be good for us to go back to verse 4 and put things together: (1) "but with you there is forgiveness" - verse 1; (2) "with the Lord is unfailing love" - verse 7; and (3) "with him is full redemption" - verse 7.

There are 3 wonderful things provided in our relationship with the Lord: (1) "forgiveness"; (2) "unfailing love"; and (3) "full redemption." The price has been fully paid!

What a triple blessing awaits us when we respond in obedience to that which the Lord asks of us.

The psalmist concludes with verse 8: "He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins."

Note the little word "all."

"He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins." This goes along with the phrase from verse 7: "with him is full redemption."

Please join me in singing "There Is a Fountain":

There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains:

Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day;

And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away:

Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away;

And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r

Till all the ransomed Church of God Are saved, to sin no more:

Are saved to sin no more, Are saved, to sin no more;

Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
