Plead with God the Merit and Righteousness of Jesus Christ

Petition 3.2 | NASB

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 You are gracious and merciful, so You are the righteous God who loves righteousness, Psalm 11:7(NASB) and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Exodus 34:7(NASB) I cannot say, “Have patience with me and I will repay You everything,” Matthew 18:26(NASB) for I have become like one who is unclean, and all my righteous deeds are like a filthy garment. Isaiah 64:6(NASB) But Jesus Christ has become to me righteousness from God; 1 Corinthians 1:30(NASB) being made sin on my behalf, though He knew no sin, so that I might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21(NASB)

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 also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2(NASB)

God is the one who justifies, who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is even now at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for me, Romans 8:33-34(NASB) and whose blood speaks better than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24(NASB)

I desire to count everything as loss for the sake of Christ, and as rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having any righteousness of my own, but that which is through faith in Christ. Philippians 3:7-9(NASB)

This is the name by which I, with Your people, will call Him: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6(NASB) In Him, Lord, I do believe; help my unbelief. Mark 9:24(NASB)

Remember, O LORD, on David’s behalf, all His affliction; Psalm 132:1(NASB) the Son of David, remember all His offerings and accept His burnt offerings; Psalm 20:3(NASB) and do not turn away the face of Your Anointed, 2 Chronicles 6:42(NASB) who by His own blood has entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for me. Hebrews 9:24(NASB)

Have not You Yourself displayed Your Son, Christ Jesus, as a propitiation in His blood through faith, for the demonstration of Your righteousness at the present time, so that You would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus? Romans 3:25-26(NASB) And I now receive the reconciliation. Romans 5:11(NASB)

Plead with God His Goodness and Readiness to Forgive Sin

Petition 3.2 | NASB

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.

You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. Psalm 86:5(NASB) You are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in covenant love and truth. Psalm 86:15(NASB)

You are a God of forgiveness, gracious and compassionate, Nehemiah 9:17(NASB) who does not always strive with me nor keep His anger forever. Psalm 103:9(NASB)

You, even You, are the one who wipes out my transgressions for Your own sake, and will not remember my sins, which I am here to put You in remembrance of and to declare, in order to plead for mercy in Christ. Isaiah 43:25-26(KJV)

And now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have declared, saying, “The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression.” Pardon, I pray, my iniquity and the iniquity of Your people, according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You have forgiven us even until now. Numbers 14:17-19(NASB)

For who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of Your possession? You do not retain Your anger forever, because You delight in unchanging love. O that You would have compassion on me and tread my iniquities under foot and cast all my sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19(NASB)

Earnestly Pray for the Forgiveness of your Sins

Petition 3.1 | NASB

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

Lord, I come to You, as the poor tax collector who stood some distance away and was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast; and I pray his prayer, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ Luke 18:13(NASB) The God of infinite mercy be merciful to me.

O wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Psalm 51:1-3(NASB) O purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow; Psalm 51:7(NASB) hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Psalm 51:9(NASB)

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

Let me be justified as a gift by Your grace, through the redemption which is in Jesus, Romans 3:24(NASB) from all those things from which I could not be justified through the Law of Moses. Acts 13:39(NASB)

O let not my iniquity be a stumbling block to me; Ezekiel 18:30(NASB) but let the LORD take away my sin, that I may not die, 2 Samuel 12:13(NASB) not die eternally; that I may not be hurt by the second death. Revelation 2:11(NASB)

Wipe out my transgressions like a thick cloud and my sins like a heavy mist; for I return to You, because You have redeemed me. Isaiah 44:22(NASB)

Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, O Lord, for in Your sight no man living is righteous. Psalm 143:2(NASB)

Take away all iniquity, and receive me graciously; heal my apostasy, and love me freely; and let Your anger be turned away from me, for in You the orphan finds mercy. Hosea 14:2-4(NASB)

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 like wool; that consenting and obeying, I may eat the best of the land. Isaiah 1:18-19(NASB)

I will say to God, “Do not condemn me, Job 10:2(NASB) but deliver me from going down to the pit, for You have found the ransom.” Job 33:24(NASB)
