TOPIC: GOD DOES NOT REMEMBER YOUR SIN
“I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.” Isaiah 43:25 KJV
God has blotted out your transgressions for his name’s sake, and He does not remember them again. He did it for His own sake. Sins, in this context, refer to both the nature and the actions. That is why it is in the plural. God says He will not remember your sins.
You know we have this idea, and we preached it when we had little understanding of the scripture, that God has a tape recorder that records everything, and when the last day comes, he will play your tape. The truth is that God does not have any record of your sins. He has already erased them, and He will no longer remember them.
Jeremiah 31:34 says, “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.” (KJV).
Iniquity more or less speaks of the sins of generations. So, you see, that puts a hole in the balloon for people who bring the doctrine of generational curse. The Lord says He will not remember our iniquity and our sin any more. If God is saying to us that He will not remember, why are you reminding Him?
Let us take it a bit further as we look at the things that God did about sin. Ephesians 1:7 says: “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
Our sins have been forgiven according to the riches of His grace. So, don’t let the devil flaunt your sins before you and thereby stop you from receiving from God. His strategy is to rob you of your boldness and make you become spiritually paralysed.
God doesn’t remember your sins. Jesus did a complete job of redemption.
