TO FORGIVE AND FORGET

Jesus came to die for us so that we might be saved. He took all the sin that was or ever will be around His body. He also is a just and righteous God who not only forgives but forgets. We do harm to ourselves when we don't forgive ourselves, it is the same as in the testament days when if you killed someone you had the dead person tied to your body and you carried this rotting body around until it in turned killed you because of the rotting flesh.

What would it be like if God forgave but didn't forget? He knows the harm that comes from carrying it around it would make Jesus' death if not useless, halfway and God completes what He starts. So to forgive He has to forget. And the same is true of us, if we do not forgive and forget we are saying God did not do a complete act with Jesus which we know is an untruth. Without the act of forgetting Jesus would be unable to go before God since sin cannot go before God.

God's blessings to each of you,
