Daniel 9:9-13
9 To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. 10 We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. 11 Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him. 13 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us; yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand Your truth.

God forgives because He shows mercy. Even when we were still lost in our sin and living by lies, He gave us truth and called us to understand His grace and mercy. We suffer under the curse of our sin until we believe this truth fulfilled in Jesus Christ alone. Only then can we be changed and then find the way to live as He tells us and listen His truth with understanding for life - both now and into forever with Him.
