My own misery and danger because of sin.

For thy name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity, for it is great; Psalm 25:11(KJV) for innumerable evils have compassed me about, my iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me. Psalm 40:12-13(KJV)

O remember not against me former iniquities, let thy tender mercy speedily prevent me, for I am brought very low. Help me, O God of my salvation, for the glory of thy name; deliver me, and purge away my sins, for thy name’s sake. Psalm 79:8-9(KJV)

Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgressions; according to thy mercy remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord. Psalm 25:7(KJV)

The blessed condition which they are in whose sins are pardoned.

O let me have the blessedness of those whose transgression is forgiven, and whose sin is covered; of that man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. Psalm 32:1-2(KJV)

O let me have redemption through Christ’s blood, even the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of thy grace, wherein thou hast abounded towards me in all wisdom and prudence. Ephesians 1:7-8(KJV) That being in Christ Jesus, there may be no condemnation to me. Romans 8:1(KJV)

That my sins, which are many, being forgiven me, Luke 7:47(KJV) I may go in peace: Luke 7:50(KJV) And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick, if the people that dwell therein be forgiven their iniquity. Isaiah 33:24(KJV)

The promises God hath made in his word to pardon and absolve all them that truly repent and unfeignedly believe his holy gospel.

Lord, is not this the word which thou hast spoken, that if the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and return unto the Lord, even to my God, that thou wilt abundantly pardon, Isaiah 55:7(KJV) wilt multiply to pardon?

To thee, the Lord my God, belong mercies and forgivenesses, though I have rebelled against thee. Daniel 9:9(KJV)

Is not this the covenant which thou hast made with the house of Israel, that thou wilt take away their sins; Romans 11:27(KJV) that thou wilt forgive their iniquity and remember their sin no more; Jeremiah 31:34(KJV) that the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none, and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found? Jeremiah 50:20(KJV)

Hast thou not said that if the wicked will turn from all his sins which he hath committed and keep thy statutes, he shall live, he shall not die, all his transgressions shall not be mentioned unto him? Ezekiel 33:15-16(KJV)

Hast thou not appointed that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in Christ’s name unto all nations? Luke 24:47(KJV)

Didst thou not promise that when the sins of Israel were put upon the head of the scape-goat, they should be sent away into the wilderness, into a land not inhabited? Leviticus 16:22(KJV) And as far as the east is from the west, so far dost thou remove my transgressions from me. Psalm 103:12(KJV)

O remember these words unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalm 119:49(KJV)

Plead with God the Merit and Righteousness of Jesus Christ

Petition 3.3 | ESV

The merit and righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ, which we rely upon as our main plea in our petition for the pardon of sin.

I know that as you are gracious and merciful, so you are the righteous God who loves righteous deeds, Psalm 11:7(ESV) and will by no means clear the guilty. Exodus 34:7(ESV) I cannot say, “Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything,” Matthew 18:26(ESV) for I am like one who is unclean, and all my righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. Isaiah 64:6(ESV) But Jesus Christ has become to me righteousness from God; 1 Corinthians 1:30(ESV) being made to be sin, though he knew no sin, so that in him I might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21(ESV)

I have sinned, but I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the propitiation for my sins, and not for mine only but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2(ESV)

It is God who justifies, who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died – more than that, who was raised – who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for me, Romans 8:33-34(ESV) and whose blood speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24(ESV)

I desire to count everything as loss for the sake of Christ, and as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own, but that which comes through faith in Christ. Philippians 3:7-9(ESV)

This is the name whereby I, with your people, will call him, THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6(ESV) In him, Lord, I believe; help my unbelief. Mark 9:24(ESV)

Remember, O LORD, in David’s favor, all the hardships he endured; Psalm 132:1(ESV) the Son of David, remember all his offerings and regard with favor his burnt sacrifices; Psalm 20:3(ESV) and do not turn away the face of your Anointed One, 2 Chronicles 6:42(ESV) who by his own blood has entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on my behalf. Hebrews 9:24(ESV)

Have you not yourself put forward your Son, Christ Jesus, as a propitiation for sin by his blood, to be received by faith; to show God’s righteousness for the remission of sins, to show your righteousness at the present time, so that you might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus? Romans 3:25-26(KJV) And so, I now receive reconciliation. Romans 5:11(ESV)

Plead with God the Merit and Righteousness of Jesus Christ

Petition 3.3 | KJV

The merit and righteousness of my Lord Jesus Christ, which I rely upon as my main plea in my petition for the pardon of sin.

I know that as thou art gracious and merciful, so thou art the righteous God that loveth righteousness, Psalm 11:7(KJV) and wilt by no means clear the guilty. Exodus 34:7(KJV) I cannot say, Have patience with me and I will pay thee all, Matthew 18:26(KJV) for I am as an unclean thing, and all my righteousness is as filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6(KJV) But Jesus Christ is made of God to me righteousness; 1 Corinthians 1:30(KJV) being made sin for me, though he knew no sin, that I might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:21(KJV)

I have sinned, but I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the propitiation for my sins, and not for mine only, but for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2(KJV)

It is God that justifieth, who is he that shall condemn? It is Christ that died, yea, rather that is risen again and now is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for me, Romans 8:33-34(KJV) and whose blood speaks better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24(KJV)

I desire to count every thing loss for Christ, and dung, that I may win Christ and be found in him, not having any righteousness of my own, but that which is through the faith of Christ. Philippians 3:7-9(KJV)

This is the name whereby I, with your people, will call him, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:6(KJV) In him, Lord, I believe; help thou my own unbelief. Mark 9:24(KJV)

Lord, remember David and all his troubles; Psalm 132:1(KJV) the Son of David, remember all his offerings and accept his burnt sacrifice; Psalm 20:3(KJV) and turn not away the face of thine Anointed, 2 Chronicles 6:42(KJV) who by his own blood is entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for me. Hebrews 9:24(KJV)

Hast not thou thyself set forth thy Son, Christ Jesus, to be a propitiation for sin through faith in his blood, to declare thy righteousness for the remission of sins, to declare at this time thy righteousness, that thou mayest be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus? Romans 3:25-26(KJV) And I now receive the atonement. Romans 5:11(KJV)
