of sins that I have done;
I know them all and thousands more,
Jehovah knoweth none!
Tullian Tchividjian mentioned this line in a sermon of his going through the book of James.
I love that line.
Satan is right.
I am wrong.
I agree with Satan.
I don't deserve to be forgiven.
But oh, what a God we have.
He does not treat us as our sins deserve.
It reminds me of this:
Zechariah 3:1-4
3 Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.”
3 Jeshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood there before the angel. 4 So the angel said to the others standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And turning to Jeshua he said, “See, I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new clothes.”
