In Psalms, chapter thirty-two, verse one describes the only happy people who have received forgiveness for their sins from God who have left the sensual way to join the life of Christ. They no longer have to deal with the guilt weighing their minds and consciences. Such blessed peace is open to all sinners who come to the Lord, as in Matthew eleven, verses twenty-eight through twenty-nine. The psalmist describes God’s forgiveness in three ways: First, He forgives the sin that He pardons. God then covers the sin and puts it out of sight. The sin of the sinner is uncharged, which means canceled from the record.
The theme verse is A Prayer in Distress and is the Maschil psalm, which may be a teaching psalm. This psalm sets forth the nature of sin and what happens when it is concealed, acknowledged, forsaken, and forgiven. The other Machil psalms are chapters forty-two, forty-four, forty-five, fifty-two through fifty-five, seventy-four, seventy-eight, eighty-eight, eighty-nine, and one hundred and forty-two, respectively. To express sins to an Almighty God in sincerity will help the new believer receive the blessing of being free in Christ. “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new,” from Second Corinthians five, verse seventeen.
Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven and will be the ones who desire to change from the ways they were living before and embrace the life of Christ. God sees the heart and knows the believers who will follow Him in truth and righteousness because He can see right through us. After all, He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth who also created humans. Therefore, the people who confess Christ with their mouths and not from their hearts: He knows them as well.
