"I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will remember your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25 Heb. 8:12; 10:17).
God chooses not to remember our sins. He chooses never to bring them up again. He doesn't forget because He cannot, but He doesn't remember them either; that is, He will never bring them up again. Why? Because they have been forgiven in His Son Jesus. This is why, when you read Hebrews 11, you will see a listing of great people of faith: Abraham, Moses, David, etc. Yet, none of their sins are listed even though they were sinners. Why? Because God remembers their sins no more.
Five Lessons-
First Lesson to Learn: The corrosion of sin is great and obvious and the consciences of convinced sinners ought to have regard unto.
Second Lesson to Learn: We can never comprehend more clearly the glory and greatness of pardoning mercy of God unless we are convinced of the greatness and vileness of our sins.
Third Lesson to Learn: The New Covenant of grace fully assures us that, for Christ's sake, God remembers our transgressions no more it doesn't matter how many and how heinous they had been.
Fourth Lesson to Learn: Truly penitent can only be the partakers of this New Covenant.
Lastly, this forgiveness is fundamental to all other Christian blessings.
There may have been a number of instances, with most if not all, that we sinned against God in some ways. And because of the shame and guilt many may have been drawn away from God and broken their relationship with Him. This joyous occasion of New Year brings the memory of the New Covenant of God in the scriptures. For man to turn to God is never an outdated move. As we celebrate and welcome the year 2017 let’s hearken the ever embracing grace and mercy of God which is calling us back into His loving arms to reconcile, restore and re-establish our relationship.
The beginning of the year 2017, with a reminder of the New Covenant, calls the stranded sheep to come back and sheep in the herd to get even closer to the Shepherd in New Year.
God Bless !!!
