I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 43:25 Go To Isaiah 43
Cassiodorus Senator
AD 585
Though this type of argument seems without resort and bereft of human force in court trials here on earth, before God it is invested with invincible protection. Only confession of faith can acquit the person whom no arguments defend. Such a course is permitted to those who truly repent, who in seeking pardon for themselves strive instead to condemn their own actions. This is what Isaiah too advises: “Speak first of your iniquities that you may be justified.”
