—Jeremiah 31:31-34
by: Joy Choquette.
Does God have amnesia? Selective amnesia, yes. This passage tells us that once God has forgiven us, He remembers our sins no more. What a beautiful, hope-filled promise! Our sinful nature wants us to believe that this is impossible. Yet, Romans 8:1 states, “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” God is a god of new beginnings, fresh starts, and clean slates. There is nothing that we have ever done or will ever do that He will not “forget” after we ask for His forgiveness.
