Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 43:25

"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins." — Isaiah 43:25 (ASV)

I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.

Here is a great wave of mercy washing away everything that could bear witness against the people of God.

I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.

You have forgotten His mercies; but He will forget your sins.

You have grieved Him, but He still has a tender heart towards you.

He will blot out your sins. Oh, how this ought to melt us! How this ought to encourage us to begin again in better style, and to be much in prayer, and much in holy service, and much in self-sacrifice!

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

He has pointed out the fault: he has shown that he is not forgetful of it; and then he pronounces absolution. The transgression is put away. Blessed be his name! Now let us turn to the New Testament, and read in Romans 10, and we shall see there the way in which pardon is brought home to the soul.

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

What a blessed God to deal so graciously with his ungrateful erring people!
