The New Covenant (part 5)
One of the most challenging points of the New Covenant is just this:
"I will remember their sin no more."
It is hard to grasp that the All-Knowing, Omnipresent, Eternal Lord can forget our sin. But not only does He put our sin 1. OUT OF HIS MIND (Jeremiah 31:34), He puts our sin ...
2. OUT OF HIS SIGHT
"You have put all my sins behind your back." (Isaiah 38:17)
3. OUT OF REACH
"You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea." (Micah 7:19)
"As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)
4. OUT OF EXISTENCE
"I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more." (Isaiah 43:25)
"I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist." (Isaiah 44:22)
All that is needed to fall under this New Covenant is to "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus." (Acts 3:19-20)
"'Come now, let us reason together,' says the LORD. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)
To Whom Be Glory For Ever and Ever. AMEN.
