Bible verses for children
Wrongdoing carried far away.
Micah 7:19
He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah 7:19 · World English Bible Classic (WEB)
In simple words
What does this verse mean?
Sins cast into the sea picture the completeness of forgiveness. God’s compassion opens a way beyond wrongdoing. This does not remove the need to repair harm or learn a different way.
After making amends, practise a better habit instead of endlessly calling yourself bad.
