"..And (God) will remember their sins no more". Jeremiah 31:34 NIV
My husband has had two careers, both required us to move regularly. Firstly he worked for a bank and then he went into pastoral ministry. One of the advantages of moving is you have the opportunity to start at a new place with a "clean sheet". No-one knows the mistakes you made at the previous place, things you wished you hadn't said, things you wished you'd done but never quite got around to.
In our relationship with God we can always enjoy the assurance of having a "clean sheet". God made it possible through Jesus' death for our sins to be completely forgiven and forgotten. Our standing with God is as if we'd never sinned.
But how can an all-knowing God forget sin? Wouldn't that mean he was no longer all-knowing? The fact is God chooses not to bring our sins to mind. He chooses not to remember. It's important for us to realise that we also have this ability. We can choose not to recall or think about something that pained us, once we have put forgiven in place.
In our relationships with other Christians and with ourselves, we need to use this ability. In the daily affairs of life when sins are committed against us, often unintentionally, we need to forgive and choose not to bring them to mind.
God's intention is for us to always have a "clean sheet" in our relationship with him and with each other.
