"And their sins and iniquities will I call back no more" (Heb. 10:17).

We cognise that God forgives the sins of His people, but does He forget them? It would seem to be so. Our record suggests that He "will not remember" the sins pledged opposed to Him by His family (Isa. 43:25). Believers have always saved a large promise of comfort in this blest inspiration.

But consequently God calls upon us to in the same way yield others "even as God for Christ's welfare hath forgiven you" (Eph. 4:32). Doesn't this declare that we too should forgive and forget? Perhaps you are thinking, "But Pastor, you don't cognise what they did to me!" True, but was it more than than what was through with to God when men crucified His Son? Remember, God's vow to grant and bury the sins of His family includes even the brutal killing of His lone biological Son.

We are tempted to think, "Well, it's simplified for God to forget," but such is not the lawsuit. God says of the sins of unbelievers that He "will NEVER forget ANY of their works" (Amos 8:7). How afterwards can this God of "total recall" forget our sins? Does His mental representation have a accessible "on/off" control that makes it effortless for Him to grant and forget? If so, consequently we who do not have such as a electrical switch would have an defense for forgiving but not forgetting. But if God has such a switch, would He not as well have to score through His internal representation of Calvary, or else until the end of time hypothesize why His Son had to die? But it cannot be that God could forget the Cross, for Revelation 5:6 joins John 20:27 to reveal that the Lord's resurrection of christ body will forever carry the scars of the Cross, production it insurmountable for God-or us-to ever forget His human activity for our sins.

What later is the statement to our question? Can God bury our sins? Perhaps the reader has detected that we ne'er publication that God will forget the sins of His people, but instead that He "will not remember" them. By a deliberate act of His "will" He chooses to act toward us AS IF He has unnoticed our sins, on the idea of the humor of the Cross. That's how to the full and all He has forgiven our sins. And if we are to concede others "as" God forgave us, past we too must plump for to act toward others as if we have so full forgiven their transgressions opposed to us that we have disregarded them-also on the cause of Christ's cabin bodily fluid. This and this alone is full-blown remission of others, and it is great sacred broken indeed.

May God support us to begin the new time period with a tablet wiped cleanly of "all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and corruption tongued...with all malice" (Eph. 4:31).
