"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us," Psalm 103:12. We can never fully understand the fulness of God's mercy. We can but "see through a glass darkly." However, we may see from this psalm that forgiveness of sins is high on the list of God's mercies. It is mentioned first amongst the benefits of God to men which must not be forgotten, verses 2-3. It is a benefit rooted in mercy, verse 8. It is a cause for great admiration, verses 11, 17.
