Definition: He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Explanation: Okay, let’s break down this verse from Psalm 103:10 together. It's a really beautiful and comforting statement about God! Here’s what it means in simpler terms: Basically, it says: “God doesn’t seem to be punishing or holding back from us because of our mistakes.” Let’s unpack that a little further: “He hath not dealt with us…” - This means God isn't being unfair or unkind to us. He’s not acting in a way that seems to favor or punish us. “…after our sins” – This refers to the mistakes, wrongdoings, and bad things we’ve done. It’s about our actions and choices. “nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” - This is a bit more poetic. "Iniquities" means wrongdoing, something that goes against God's will or is morally wrong. So, it means God isn't giving us back what we’ve done badly – no good things, no blessings, and certainly not things that are right or pleasing to Him. The overall message: It’s a declaration of God’s goodness and mercy. He doesn’t seem to be angry with us because we've messed up. Why is this important? It reminds us that God loves us unconditionally, even when we stumble. It offers comfort and encourages us to trust in His plan, even when things are difficult. --- Do you want me to: Explain another verse? Give a little more context about the meaning of this passage?
