"Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin The LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit." Psalms 32:1-2 (NIV)
In this psalm King David clearly states that believers are forgiven of their sins and they are blessed.
Because the sins of believers are covered by the blood of Jesus, they are not counted against us. Being forgiven of our sins is probably the most important blessing that a believer can receive. The Bible says that all of us have sinned. (Romans 3:23) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us of all of our unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) This, however, only applies to those who believe and follow Jesus, The Christ.
