“And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.””
- Genesis 9:12-17
“For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”
- Hebrews 8:12
God is not like us. Made from dust with a finite mind forgetting keys, and where we left our shoes. Forgetting dates in the calendar, and special occasions. God remembers. Remembers forever, because He knows all things. God knows the cattle on a thousand hills, the gold and silver in every mine, the number of hairs on every head, every sparrow that flies and falls to the ground, the name of every star, every grain of sand, and every word before it is on the tongue. He knows all things, he remembers all things and yet he chooses to remember our sin no more.
How might God choosing to remember your sin no more change the way you think of your own sin? What about those who have sinned against you?
