God not only forgives us of our sins when we confess them…He forgets all about them. For under the New Covenant, the continuous cycle of making sacrifices was no longer necessary, as the new work of redemption through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ secured our forgiveness once and for all. So why is it so easy to forgive but not to forget when we’re wronged? The answer is, we have to choose to forget, and sometimes guilt, shame, or anger just won’t let us. Paul told the Philippians that they had to forget what was behind in order to successfully strife forward…and we must also. So today, resolve to forget…asking the Lord for the strength to do so, and to set you free from the lingering hurt.
