THE FORGETFULNESS OF GOD

THE FORGETFULNESS OF GOD




Sin stalks and subdues souls with guilt and regret, shame and remorse rule and ruin millions by the hour causing conflict and confusion in the hearts of the Christian and the unconverted, as soul after soul suffers in silence.



But it doesn’t have to be this way!

We read and hear about the holiness, of God, the love of God and the mercy of God…but how about the forgetfulness of God? Thank God our sins, via the cross of Calvary, are FORGIVEN & FORGOTTEN FOREVER.



The prophet Jeremiah says in chapter 31 verse 34 “ …I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”


God’s forgetfulness is not like ours…His is not a matter of inabilty but of infallibilty! The forgetfulness of God is not a matter of weakness but WONDERFULNESS!



Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, was reminded one day of a vicious deed that someone had done to her years before. But she acted as if she had never even heard of the incident. "Don’t you remember it?" her friend asked. "No," reply, "I distinctly remember forgetting it."

It’s not that God is unable or CAN NOT remember, but that He DOES not. He alone is able to chose what to remember or forget. No sins are omitted and no strings are attached. God’s forgiveness is not dependent on the worthineSs of the offender-but the wonderfulness of the offended! Instead of looking at our achievements––He looks to His own affection.



(1John 1:7) “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth (verb tense- “keeps cleansing”) us from ALL sin. Vs. 9 “ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”




As the songwriter said; “My sin O the bliss of this glorious thought – My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, Praise the Lord O my soul”



Think on these things, and keep the SON in your eyes!
