Our sin is “as far as the east is from the west” from us. Non Christians often ask why God made such a big universe if it has no other life forms. I think a big part of that is to illustrate the depth of this verse. Now imagine how pointless that verse is if only our past sin is that far from us and we are left to wallow in our continued sin.
Only our past sins are "as east from west"! We are not left to wallow in our sins - we have an Advocate who begs the Father for our sake - TODAY! You are ignoring the verses that I have posted regarding the FACT that men continue to sin and CONTINUE to require to ask the Lord for forgiveness.
