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, and this
is our duty as long as we live, 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.

Encouragement to Flee to Christ. Matt. 11. 28

1 Poor sinner, dejected with fear,
Unbosom thy mind to the Lamb;
No wrath on his brow he does wear,
Nor will he poor mourners condemn;
His arm of omnipotent grace
Is able and willing to save;
A sweet and a permanent peace
He'll freely and faithfully give.

2 [Come just as thou art, with thy woe, Fall down at the feet of the Lamb,
He will not, he cannot say, Go,
But surely will take out thy stain. A fountain is opened for sin,
And thousands its virtues have proved; He'll take thee, and plunge thee
therein, And wash thee from filth in his blood.]

3 The soul that on Jesus relies,
He'll never, no never deceive;
He freely and faithfully gives
More blessings than we can conceive; Yea, down to old age he will keep,
Nor will he forsake us at last;
He knows, and is known by, his sheep; They're his, and he will hold them fast.
