Our sin and our failures have not, and can never again, separate you from Him. He has put them away forever, as far, as the east is from the west (Ps. 103:12). We have been credited, once and for all, the righteousness of Jesus Christ. He has said to us in Christ, "You are My beloved child. In you I am well pleased...I will never leave you or forsake you," and "surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your life. You will dwell in My house forever" (Matt. 17:5; Heb. 13:5; Ps. 23:6, author paraphrase).
