Isaiah 43:25 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

I, (even) I - The God against whom your sin is committed, and who alone can and will pardon. (See Isaiah 44:22.)

(Am) he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake - (Isaiah 48:9; Isaiah 48:11.) How abominable a thing sin is, since it is against such a God of grace! "Blotteth out" is an image from an account-book, in which, when a debt is paid, the charge is cancelled or blotted out.

And will not remember thy sins (Jeremiah 31:34.) When God forgives He forgets - i:e., treats the sinner as if He had forgotten his sins.

Isaiah 43:25

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