Psalm 51:10-17 (KJV)
10) Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a
right spirit within me.
11) Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not
thy holy spirit from me.
12) Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and
uphold me with thy free spirit.
13) Then will I teach transgressors thy ways;
and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
14) Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God
of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
15) O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall
show forth thy praise.
16) For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I
give it: thou delightest not in burnt
offering.
17) The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou
wilt not despise. |

Introduction:
This page will cover detailed study of the
concept of Biblical forgiveness. We are currently
formatting the information we have into a web
friendly version but for now give you the Easton's
Bible Dictionary definition of forgiveness. More will
follow ...
Forgiveness as defined in Easton's
Bible Dictionary:
One of the constituent parts of justification. In
pardoning sin, God absolves the sinner from the
condemnation of the law, and that on account of the
work of Christ, i.e., he removes the guilt of sin,
or the sinner's actual liability to eternal wrath on
account of it. All sins are forgiven freely (Ac
5:31; 13:38; 1Jn 1:6-9). The sinner is by this act
of grace for ever freed from the guilt and penalty
of his sins. This is the peculiar prerogative of God
(Ps 130:4; Mk 2:5). It is offered to all in the
gospel.
