c:  He casts our sins behind His back (Isaiah 38:17)

     woman of Samaria (John 4:16-18), though she was guilty of great sexual

     description of details or public confession (Luke 23:43)
e:  How else but through the blood of Christ are David, Samson, and other
     sinners included in the Hall of Faith (Hebrews 11)?
 
4.  The everlasting covenant incudes the forgetting of sins.
