I think in some way we all struggle with this mentality, right? If we’re honest, I think we all struggle with believing that God can and/or has forgiven and cleansed us of our sins…

Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
Set up Micah historically— contemporary of Isaiah, writing to Judah warning of Judgement unless Judah repents and returns to Hashem.
Micah 1-4a: Accusing Israel’s Leaders of Injustice
Micah 4b-5: Hope for Restoration Under the Messianic King
Micah 6-7: Hope in God’s Mercy and Redemption
7 But I—I will watch for Adonai. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
8 Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I have fallen—I will arise. Though I sit in darkness, Adonai is my light.
9 I will bear the indignation of Adonai, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light, and I will behold His righteousness.
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
18 Who is a God like You pardoning iniquity, overlooking transgression, for the remnant of His heritage? He will not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.
19 He will again have compassion on us. He will subdue our iniquities, and You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
20 You will extend truth to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, that You swore to our ancestors from the days of old.

Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
16 “Wash and make yourselves clean. Put away the evil of your deeds from before My eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Learn to do good, seek justice, relieve the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow.”
18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says Adonai. “Though your sins be like scarlet, they will be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they will become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obey, you will eat the good of the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword.” For the mouth of Adonai has spoken.
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
11 “For what is it to Me— the multitude of your sacrifices?” says Adonai. “I am full of burnt offerings of rams and fat of fed animals. I have no delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or he-goats.
12 When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand— trampling My courts?
13 Bring no more worthless offerings! Incense is an abomination to Me. New Moon and Shabbat, the calling of convocations —I cannot endure it— iniquity with solemn assembly.
14 Your New Moons and your Festivals My soul hates! They are a burden to Me. I am weary to bear them.
15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. When you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood!”
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
(T’filah T’shuvah/Prayer of Repentance)
3 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your mercy. According to Your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
4 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
5 For I know my transgressions and my sin is ever before me.
6 Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are just when You speak, and blameless when You judge.
7 Behold, I was born in iniquity and in sin when my mother conceived me.
8 Surely You desire truth in the inner being. Make me know wisdom inwardly.
9 Cleanse me with hyssop and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
10 Let me hear joy and gladness, so the bones You crushed may rejoice.
11 Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
12 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
13 Do not cast me from Your presence— take not Your Ruach ha-Kodesh from me.
14 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and sustain me with a willing spirit.

11 But when Messiah appeared as Kohen Gadol of the good things that have now come, passing through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands (that is to say not of this creation),
12 He entered into the Holies once for all—not by the blood of goats and calves but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
14 how much more will the blood of Messiah—who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God—cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Erev Rosh Hashanah 5785
19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have boldness to enter into the Holies by the blood of Yeshua.
20 He inaugurated a new and living way for us through the curtain—that is, His flesh.
21 We also have a Kohen Gadol over God’s household.
22 So let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and body washed with pure water.

8 He has told you, humanity, what is good, and what Adonai is seeking from you: Only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
