He Remembers No More 

"For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more"
(Jeremiah 31:34). 

When we know the LORD, we receive the forgiveness of sins. We know Him as the
God of grace, passing by our transgressions. What a joyful discovery is this! 

But how divinely is this promise worded: the LORD promises no more to remember
our sins! Can God forget? He says He will, and He means what He says. He will
regard us as though we had never sinned. The great atonement so effectually
removed all sin that it is to the mind of God no more in existence. The
believer is now in Christ Jesus, as accepted as Adam in his innocence; yea,
more so, for he wears a divine righteousness, and that of Adam was but human. 

The great LORD will not remember our sins so as to punish them, or so as to
love us one atom the less because of them. As a debt when paid ceases to be a
debt, even so doth the LORD make a complete obliteration of the iniquity of His
people. 

When we are mourning over our transgressions and shortcomings, ...let us at the
same time rejoice that they will never be mentioned against us. This makes us
hate sin. God's free pardon makes us anxious never again to grieve Him by
disobedience.

“Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.ö 1 Sam. 7. 12 




Though strait be the way, with dangers beset,  And we on the way are no farther
yet,  Our good Guide and Saviour has helped us thus far;  And ’tis by his
favour we are what we are.  2 
[A favour so great we highly should prize;  Not murmur, nor fret, nor small
things despise.  But what call we small things – sin’s whole cancelled sum? 
’Tis greater than all things, except those to come.]  3 
My brethren, reflect on what we have been,  How God had respect to us under
sin;  When lower and lower we every day fell,  He stretched forth his power,
and snatched us from hell.  4 
Then let us rejoice, and cheerfully sing,  With heart and with voice, to Jesus
our King,  Who thus far has brought us from evil to good;  The ransom that
bought us, no less than his blood.  5 
For blessings like these, so bounteously given,  For prospects of peace and
foretastes of heaven,  ’Tis grateful, ’tis pleasant, to sing, and adore;  Be
thankful for present, and then ask for more.
