Plead with God the Merit and Righteousness of Jesus Christ

Petition 3.3 | KJV

The merit and righteousness of my Lord Jesus Christ, which I rely upon as my main plea in my petition for the pardon of sin.

I know that as thou art gracious and merciful, so thou art the righteous God that loveth righteousness, Psalm 11:7(KJV) and wilt by no means clear the guilty. Exodus 34:7(KJV) I cannot say, Have patience with me and I will pay thee all, Matthew 18:26(KJV) for I am as an unclean thing, and all my righteousness is as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6(KJV) But Jesus Christ is made of God to me righteousness; 1 Corinthians 1:30(KJV) being made sin for me, though he knew no sin, that I might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21(KJV)

I have sinned, but I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the propitiation for my sins, and not for mine only, but for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2(KJV)

It is God that justifieth, who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again and now is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for me, Romans 8:33-34(KJV) and whose blood speaks better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24(KJV)

I desire to count every thing loss for Christ, and dung, that I may win Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own, but that which is through the faith of Christ. Philippians 3:7-9(KJV)

This is the name whereby I, with your people, will call him, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6(KJV) In him, Lord, I believe; help thou my own unbelief. Mark 9:24(KJV)

Lord, remember David and all his troubles; Psalm 132:1(KJV) the Son of David, remember all his offerings and accept his burnt sacrifice; Psalm 20:3(KJV) and turn not away the face of thine Anointed, 2 Chronicles 6:42(KJV) who by his own blood is entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for me. Hebrews 9:24(KJV)

Hast not thou thyself set forth thy Son, Christ Jesus, to be a propitiation for sin through faith in his blood, to declare thy righteousness for the remission of sins, to declare at this time thy righteousness, that thou mayest be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus? Romans 3:25-26(KJV) And I now receive the atonement. Romans 5:11(KJV)

Plead with God His Goodness and Readiness to Forgive Sin

Petition 3.2 | KJV

For the encouraging of my faith and the exciting of my fervency in this petition for the pardon of sin, I may plead with God,

The infinite goodness of his nature, his readiness to forgive sin, and his glorying in it.

Thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive and rich in mercy to all them that call upon thee. Psalm 86:5(KJV) Thou art a God full of compassion and gracious, long-suffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. Psalm 86:15(KJV)

Thou art a God of pardon, merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, Nehemiah 9:17(KJV) that dost not always chide nor keep thine anger for ever. Psalm 103:9(KJV)

Thou, even thou, art he that blottest out my transgressions for thine own sake, and wilt not remember my sins, which I am here to put thee in remembrance of, to plead with thee, and to declare, that I may be justified. Isaiah 43:25-26(KJV)

And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, The Lord is long-suffering and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy people according unto the greatness of thy mercy: and as thou hast forgiven even until now. Numbers 14:17-19(KJV)

For who is a God like unto thee, that pardonest iniquity and passest by the transgression of the remnant of thine heritage? Who retainest not thine anger for ever, because thou delightest in mercy? O that thou wouldest have compassion upon me and subdue my iniquities and cast all my sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19(KJV)

Earnestly Pray for the Forgiveness of your Sins

Petition 3.1 | KJV

I must earnestly pray for the pardon and forgiveness of all my sins.

Lord, I come to thee, as the poor publican that stood afar off and would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast; and I pray his prayer, God be merciful to me, a sinner: Luke 18:13(KJV) the God of infinite mercy be merciful to me.

O wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Psalm 51:2-3(KJV) O purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow; Psalm 51:7(KJV) hide thy face from my sins, and blot out my iniquities. Psalm 51:9(KJV)

Be thou merciful to my unrighteousness, and my sins and my iniquities do thou remember no more. Hebrews 8:12(KJV) O forgive me that great debt. Matthew 18:32(KJV)

Let me be justified freely by thy grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus, Romans 3:24(KJV) from all those things from which I could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 13:39(KJV)

O let not my iniquity be my ruin; Ezekiel 18:30(KJV) but let the Lord take away my sin, that I may not die, 2 Samuel 12:13(KJV) not die eternally; that I may not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 2:11(KJV)

Blot out as a cloud my transgressions, and as a thick cloud my sins; for I return unto thee, because thou hast redeemed me. Isaiah 44:22(KJV)

Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord, for in thy sight shall no flesh living be justified. Psalm 143:2(KJV)

Take away all iniquity, and receive me graciously; heal my backslidings, and love me freely; and let thine anger be turned away from me, for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. Hosea 14:2-4(KJV)

Though my sins have been as scarlet, let them be as white as snow; and though they have been red like crimson, let them be as wool; that being willing and obedient, I may eat the good of the land. Isaiah 1:18-19(KJV)

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me, Job 10:2(KJV) but deliver me from going down to the pit, for thou hast found the ransom. Job 33:24(KJV)
