February 4 Forgiven and Forgotten

Isaiah 43:25 I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

“God never ridicules us or makes us feel unworthy. Instead we read the words of Jesus:

John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Love and Truth. God is Love and the source of all truth. The love he has for you is the same as the love he has for his son, the Lord Jesus Christ. He gives you this love through His grace and mercy. It is a pure love, not tainted by guilt or obligation.

Regardless of how deep your past transgression may be, God is near to free you with the truth of His Word. Nothing is stronger than His love. When He forgives, He forgets. (Psalm 103:12, Isaiah 43:25) Once you have confessed sin there is no need to beg or plead for His forgiveness. It’s a done deal!

You can walk freely in the light of His love because He calls you His child. Your life is inscribed in the palm of His hand. You are the apple of His eye; all heaven rejoices at the sight of your name written in the Lamb’s blood”
