Abide and Shine

Audio Adrenaline - Ocean Floor

“Ocean Floor” off the cd Ocean Floor is a song about receiving the forgiveness and cleansing God gives to all who confess and repent of their sins. It is a song about Jesus cleansing blood which cleanses those who believe in Him of all their sin. Jesus came and died, he took on our unrighteousness and bore it to the cross taking our punishment upon Himself. By His Grace and unto His Glory we are now new creatures in Him and in Him we have become the righteousness of God, his holy ones who live righteously by His grace. (2 Corinthians 5:18-21 and Colossians 3:1-17 and Ephesians 2:1-10) Therefore, ponder the lyrics of this song and the following verses and then rejoice in your God, the one true God who took away your sins and their punishment.

Psalm 103:1-4; 8-13

^“Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul,
         And forget none of His benefits;
3Who pardons all your iniquities,
         Who heals all your diseases;
4Who redeems your life from the pit,
         Who crowns you with loving kindness and compassion;
. . .    8The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
         Slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness.
9He will not always strive with us,
         Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
         Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
         So great is His loving kindness toward those who fear Him.
12As far as the east is from the west,
         So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13Just as a father has compassion on his children,
         So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Isaiah 1:18

"Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD," Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

Hebrews 8:12

12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

Hebrews 10:16-17

16 "THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THEM
         AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD:
         I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEART,
         AND ON THEIR MIND I WILL WRITE THEM,"
         He then says,
    17 "AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS
         I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

1 John 1:5-10

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth;

7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
