Forgiveness for God's Glory
Commentators unanimously emphasize that God forgives "for mine own sake." This means our pardon is not based on our merits, repentance, or good deeds. Instead, God forgives to display His own character—His mercy, faithfulness, and glory. As John Calvin notes, God is not prompted by anything in us, but solely by His own goodness. This reveals that salvation is a gift rooted entirely in God's gracious nature.
