There is no God like the True and Living God, Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer!  Only God can pardon sin and forgive transgressions.  Only God can cast our sins into the depths of the sea.  All other “gods” are incapable of showing compassion, ministering mercy, or forgiving sins..

Notice the last phrase in this passage:  “You will…hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.”  I have heard it said that if you could take the largest mountain in the world and cast it into the sea, it would still be covered by at least one mile of water.  We used to sing a chorus in summer Bible camp:

“Gone, gone, gone, gone, yes my sins are gone.
Buried in the deepest sea, yes, that’s good enough for me.
I shall live eternally, praise God, my sins are g-o-n-e gone!”

If God has cast your sins into the depths of the sea, don’t go “deep-sea fishing”!
