Who is a God like You?

Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea. – Micah 7v18-19

Who is the God who will pardon sin? Who is the God who passes over transgressions? Who is the God who does not stay angry forever? Who is the God who delights in mercy? (Wow! Just stop and think about that one for a second.) Who is the God who will have compassion? Who is the God who subdues our sins? Who is the God who casts our sins into the depths of the sea?

There is only one answer to all these questions, hence the rhetorical question ‘Who is a God like You?’

The answer is obvious. There is no god like our God. There is no god who, though He is pure and right and holy and just and demands payment for sin is still full of mercy. There is no god but our God who will cast our sins in the deepest. There is no god but our God who would deal with sin by providing a payment for those sins through His son.

Praise God for His uniqueness. There is none like Him.
