Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:18-19
Have you ever thought about what brings delight to God’s heart? How is steadfast love defined in this verse? Does it not leave us in awe exclaiming, “Who is a God like you!”. Because God delights in steadfast love he devised a way to “cast all our sins into the depths of the sea” (vs 19). He did this by “treading our iniquities underfoot” even as His own Son was tread underfoot for a time on that cruel cross.
