I WILL NOT REMEMBER THY SINS.

 

July 7

 

 

Isaiah 43:25   

 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy 

transgressions for mine own sake, and 

will not remember thy sins. 

 We need fear nothing but sin; and we have no reason to fear whether God will pardon that, and save us from it, if we believe in Jesus, confess and forsake it.
 
He has promised, “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
 
He will not impute sin unto us; but He will impute righteousness, even the righteousness of Jesus without works.
 
He has made up His mind thus to glorify the riches of His grace, thus to display the wonders of His love.
 
No one sin shall be charged upon us, He will blot them all completely out of His book, and banish them eternally from His mind.
 
He will treat us as though we had not sinned, or rather as having received full satisfaction for all we have done amiss, and being infinitely delighted with our persons.
 
If one sin were remembered, and laid to our charge, we were undone; but believing in Jesus, we are justified from all sin, we are saved from the wrath, and are made “THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.”
 
This is Godlike, glorious, divine!
 
When God forgives our sins He always forgets them.
 
 

Crimes of such horror to forgive,

Such guilty daring worms to spare;

This is thy grand prerogative,

And none shall in the honour share

Who is a pardoning God like Thee?

Or who has grace so rich and free?

 
James Smith
