What God Does With Our Sin

He removes them from us "as far as the east is from the west"(Psalm 103:12) It is interesting that God did not use the similar figure of "as far as the north is from the south" because you can only go so far north and then you must go south. Therefore, the distance from the North Pole to South Pole is a specific distance-12,403 miles. But when will east meet west? It never will, because you can go east for the rest of your life and never start to go west. How far is east from west? It is infinite. That is how far God removes our sins from us! Praise God!
Isn't God's Word awesome? You can read it every day for the rest of your life and never glean everything out of it.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
-Psalm 103:12
