That is a pretty awesome statement.
To think that God is willing and able to forgive our sins - no matter where we have been or what we have done!
Of course we have to come to the place in our lives where we are willing to ask God's forgiveness, claim the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as a full pardon for our sins and ask Him to take over the control of our lives.
An amazing sense of freedom will come into our lives at that moment as the Holy Spirit of God works the age old miracle of transformation and justification in our lives and we are forever changed!
There can be a problem through!
Sometimes we feel we have lived such a rotten and unholy life that we can't possibly ask God or anyone else for that matter to even think of forgiving let alone forgiving and then forgetting.
God promised that He will "remember our sins no more". That simply means forgiven and FORGOTTEN - Forgotten - that's right - no memory of them at all.
Are you in a situation where you can't possibly think that God can forgive you? - or maybe handing your already-forgiven sins over to God again and again? Maybe you just simply can't forgive yourself.
Gods love, grace, faithfulness and promises are boundless and free - God has smashed your past sins - don't cart them around your neck like some putrid old carcase.
Claim God's promises that He remembers your sins no more! They may kick, squeal, bite and struggle but ultimately they are doomed - they have no real hold over you any more.So yes! claim those promises that your sins are forgiven - don't keep dredging them up all the time.
Every brand new day is a special gift and a blessing from God. We are forgiven. The chains of sin are broken. Don't continue to go stumbling around lost in the darkness of guilt.
Dry your tears, don't continue to be embarrassed by your weaknesses, feeling abandoned in this on-going fight against already forgotten sins.
Boldly come to the Father, He is also a friend who is eager to hear and willing to help you.
Every time you cry, every time you hide your face, every time you run away, every time you turn your back on God, He is saying "I'm still here - I've always been here - I love you - I remember your sins no more."
Accept His offer of forgiveness - keep breathing - keep believing - hang on tight to His promises that the chains of your sins are broken.
Listen to what Jesus says - Listen to His promises - don't rush around praying over and over for forgiveness that has already been given - It's like saying to God "Please Lord, don't interrupt me now I'm praying."
You know gazing into the face of Jesus is gazing into wondrous love and grace - what He says He will do - He will certainly do - you can bank on it - rest in Him.
Satan is the one who says can't while God says can - Satan says won't while God says will - Satan says GUILTY while God says INNOCENT.
Don't listen to Satan - the king of liars.
Listen to the one who can set you free - free from the on-going guilt of dragging around already forgotten sins.
We will all keep on sinning while we live in this world - unfortunately that is the price we pay - It is the on-going work of the Holy Spirit to convict us of these sins so that we can bring them to God. BUT...
Forget the past sins - Jesus died so that we can live - He nailed them to His cross. Claim God's promise and start to really trust Him.
