Psalm 32:1–2 (ESV) —
1 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.
2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
NOTE: Why is a
person blessed to have his sins forgiven? Because we were not designed
(created) for sin. It is an abnormality. For all the things that we try to do
to our bodies to be more healthy, the primary issue is sin. God never intended
for us to live in sin. He never intended for us to die. He did intend for us to
have purpose, to work, to have relationships, to appreciate beauty, and to know
him. But our sin separated us from the creator's intent. Our struggle is not so
much with the foods we eat, but with a body decaying because of sin. And that
is why forgiveness and spiritual cleansing is so important. We can flush our
bodies using all kinds of concoctions. But only the blood of Jesus can wash
away our sins. Repentance restores us. And someday, when Jesus returns for us,
we will receive new bodies, immune (in some way) to sin. And yes, we will be
blessed, … , so happy to be finally rid of the major defect to our creation,
sin.
