What the Lord Does with Our Sins

What the Lord Does with Our Sins (Hebrews 8:12)

Hebrews 8:12, For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19; Titus 1:2; Hebrews 6:18). He cannot break His covenant (Psalm 55:20; 89:29-35; Jeremiah 33:20). He cannot forsake His people (Deuteronomy 31:6; Joshua 1:5; Psalm 23; Isaiah 41:10; Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5). He cannot be unjust (Hebrews 6:10). He cannot deny Himself (II Timothy 2:13). And God cannot remember the sins of His people. It is not so say that God is not aware of the fact that we have sinned, are sinning and will sin. He is. But in so far as the law and justice of God are concerned, our sins do not exist.

The blood of Christ has blotted them out, washed them away and removed them from us (Romans 5:8-10; Ephesians 1:7; Colossians 1:20; I Peter 1:18-19; Hebrews 9:15-22).
Psalm 103:12; As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Micah 7:18-19, Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Because God Himself has removed our sins, He cannot remember our sins. This is His promise to every believer.
Isaiah 43:25, I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Jeremiah 31:34, And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Hebrews 8:12, For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 10:17, And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

God will not remember our sins when we stand before him in the Day of Judgment. Jeremiah 50:20, In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. God will not remember our sins in the distribution of His heavenly gifts, crowns and rewards. All the limitless abundance of heaven’s eternal glory will be given to all of God’s servants, because all will be perfect, blameless, sinless and holy through the righteousness and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God will remember our sins no more. That verse is one of the most blessed promises contained in all the Bible. God knows everything and He will never forget anything because He has a poor memory or have a mental lapse. When He buries our sin, He chooses not to dig it up and throw it in our face. For those who say, “I forgive, but I never forget”, are not practicing Biblical forgiveness. When you forgive someone, you bury the sin and you relinquish your right to dig it up and remind the person about it. Many lives, homes and churches have been destroyed by a lack of forgiveness. It is important that we learn to forgive like Jesus and love others like He did. It can be done, remember Stephen (Acts 7:60) followed the example of our Lord and offered forgiveness before it was asked for.

Prayer: Father, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. Help me to love and live like Your Son Jesus. In Jesus name, Amen.
