Isaiah 43:25 - I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.

I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.

Isaiah 43:25

Commentary

This verse is probably the high point of grace in the OT. In spite of Israel's utter unworthiness, the Lord in His grace has devised a way that He can forgive their sins and grant righteousness (see note on 61:10), without compromising His holiness. This He would accomplish through the work of His Servant (53:6).

"For My own sake" underscores the exclusion of human merit as a factor in salvation. Cf. also Jer. 31:34

Hebrews 6:10 - He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

Hebrews 6:10

Commentary

Two of the things that accompany salvation were manifest in the lives of the saints-their work and their labor of love. Their faith manifested itself in a life of good works, and they had the hallmark of true Christianity--active love for the household of faith. They continued to serve the Lord's people for His sake.
