Plead with God your Misery Because of Sin, Along with the Blessed Condition of Pardoned Sinners

Petition 3.5 | NASB

My own misery and danger because of sin.

For Your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great; Psalm 25:11(NASB) for evils beyond number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; make haste, O LORD, to help me. Psalm 40:12-13(NASB)

O do not remember the iniquities of my forefathers against me; let Your compassion come quickly to meet me, for I am brought very low. Help me, O God of my salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver me and forgive my sins, for Your name’s sake. Psalm 79:8-9(NASB)

Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your lovingkindness remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O LORD. Psalm 25:7(NASB)

The blessed condition which they are in whose sins are pardoned.

O let me have the blessedness of those whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered; of that man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. Psalm 32:1-2(NASB)

O let me have redemption through Christ’s blood, even the forgiveness of my trespasses, according to the riches of Your grace, which You have lavished on me, in all wisdom and insight. Ephesians 1:7-8(NASB) That being in Christ Jesus, there may be no condemnation for me; Romans 8:1(NASB) that my sins, which are many, having been forgiven me, Luke 7:47(NASB) I may go in peace: Luke 7:50(NASB) And no resident will say, “I am sick,” if the people who dwell there have been forgiven their iniquity. Isaiah 33:24(NASB)

Plead with God His Promises of Pardon

Petition 3.4 | NASB

The promises God has made in His word to pardon and absolve all those who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His holy gospel.

Lord, is not this the word which You have spoken: that if the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return to the LORD, even to my God, that You will abundantly pardon, Isaiah 55:7(NASB) will multiply to pardon?

To You, the Lord my God, belong compassion and forgiveness, for I have rebelled against You. Daniel 9:9(NASB)

Is not this the covenant which You have made with the house of Israel: that You will take away their sins; Romans 11:27(NASB) that You will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more; Jeremiah 31:34(NASB) that search will be made for the iniquity of Israel, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but they will not be found? Jeremiah 50:20(NASB)

Have You not said that if a wicked man will turn from all his sins that he has committed and keep Your statutes, he shall live; he shall not die; all his transgressions shall not be remembered against him? Ezekiel 33:15-16(NASB)

Have You not appointed that repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in Christ’s name to all the nations? Luke 24:47(NASB)

Did You not promise that when the sins of Israel were put upon the head of the scapegoat, they should be sent away into the wilderness, into a solitary land? Leviticus 16:22(NASB) And as far as the east is from the west, so far do You remove my transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12(NASB)

O remember these words to Your servant, in which You have made me hope. Psalm 119:49(NASB)

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)
