What is a pardon?

A pardon is a decree that sets a person right back as if they had never broken the law in the first place. It completely wipes the slate clean. God has provided such a pardon through His offer of salvation, which lost people reject when they refuse His offer.

Les explains that a pardon is a decree that sets you right back as if you had never broken the law in the first place. It is a complete wiping of the slate clean. He connects this to rejecting a pardon, saying that is what lost men, women, boys, and girls do when they reject God's offer of salvation. The eternal doom of the wicked is made awful by endless regret, realizing it was all paid for and they walked it underfoot.
