Micah 7:18-20

There is no God like the true God -- Micah 7:18-20: Micah said that there is no God like the true and living God. God chose Israel to be His people, the people that He would use to bring the Messiah into the world. He forgives iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage! God will not always be angry with His people, because He delights in mercy and loving-kindness. "The most wonderful feature of God's treatment of his unfaithful people is His willingness to forgive them." The expression, "He will subdue our iniquities" has special reference to how their idolatry was cured by captivity. God loved these people. He loved to be kind to them. He trample on their sins and threw them in the sea.

Micah knew that Israel could depend upon God because of the promises that He had previously made. "Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old." (Micah 7:20) God had promised to the patriarchs that He would build a great nation through whom the Messiah would be born. God had specifically made these promises to Abraham and to Jacob or Israel. God would "perform the truth to Jacob." He would keep the promises that He had first made to Abraham and later renewed to Jacob. (Genesis 12-25) Our God is a faithful God; He is full of loving-kindness and mercy.
