from Chronicles

Here's an interesting passage I read today from Second Chronicles:

"May the Lord, who is good, grant pardon to everyone who has resolved to seek God, the Lord, though they be not clean as holiness requires." [2 Chr. 30.18b-19]

The next verse says that God did forgive them.

The context shows that God forgave people who had the right attitude, even though they had not crossed every 't' and dotted every 'i.'
