"I will remember them no more!"

God’s gift to the poet empowers them to pen words with such apparent ease, their ability to lure the reader into a mystical place as they drift away into a foreign land. The imagination an amazing trait!  Like the taste of honey found in a rock, or terrifying beyond despair or at times pleasing to the mind’s eye. And yet how often do we overlook the source of everything brilliant, may God forgive us for such volatility! To the only wise God be glory in times past, presently and into the realms of eternity be glory now and forevermore. Our God the author and the finisher of our faith! This does not only mean He wrote the book, plotted the scenes to our individual lives but He will also ensure that it plays out in accordance to His will. He will finish each and every chapter! As we flip through the various chapters of the book of our lives, we engulf so many different memories and instinctively we are drawn to the happier moments, but sadly the disappointing events also constantly nag away. Did you know although we remember so many of the bad endeavors to our lives, God with the capacity to forget, will forget them! How He adopts this wonderful trait, I find my mind void of an answer! But we are told why He chooses to forget! All because of the greatest sacrifice ever performed on behalf of sinful man, the sacrificed of the Lamb, Jesus Christ slain for the sin of man! “And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."” (Jeremiah 31:34)

God has presented such a magnificent invitation to all; the message has gone out to the whole world! Some may say what about the Inca, the bushman or the man in a remote part of the world? Some will always look to avoid their own reality, what has that to do with you; have you heard the message of the gospel? If so, then you are without excuse! As for the bushman, they have most certainly heard the proclamation of the gospel; in fact I sit with a hunting bow that a bushman, a brother in Christ primed for me. He is my brother in Christ! I have fond memories of sitting with an interpreter looking into the hard lines of the man’s face and yet softness in his gaze that God alone accomplishes. The Gospel has gone out to the four corners of the earth! I tell you on the authority of God’s Word that the end is near; “And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

Whose sin will the Lord remember no more? Those who are covered by the blood of the Lamb! What about those who have heard the gospel and have remained indignant to the message? The answer is an obvious one; “For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.” (Ecclesiastes 12:14) – What will you choose: forgiveness, or will you remain obstinate?

The offer has gone out to all…

I love my Lord; He has flung the horse, the rider of sin into to the sea of His forgetfulness, praise the glorious name of Jesus Christ my redeemer and my eternal King!
