He Remembers Your Sins No More

Hebrews 10:17 … 17then He adds,

“Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

When I was a young Christian growing up in Singapore, there was a little tract entitled, This Was Your Life, circulating. In the tract, you read that when you get to heaven, God will play your entire life, including all your sins, on a huge video screen for all the angels and other Christians to watch!

The idea that God was making such a tape of my life with the intention of playing it for all to see used to make me feel awful and condemned before God. How could I ever stand boldly in God’s presence? And how was I going to face my loved ones and Christian friends in heaven one day?

I was a nervous wreck, thinking about all my sins God was recording down until I read, “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin” (Romans 4:8) — Hallelujah! I jumped for joy when I found out that God does not count my sins against me, that He gave me something called “non-imputation of sins”!

The reason God does not impute any of our sins to us is that He imputed all our sins 2,000 years ago to the body of His Son when He hung on the cross! Not only that, when God punished His Son for our sins, He caused the curse of the law to fall, stroke by stroke, upon Jesus’ entire body until every curse was satisfied. That is why we are redeemed from the curse of the law. That is why, instead of imputing sin to us, God imputes righteousness!

God wants us to know that our sins and lawless deeds He will remember no more. In the Greek, “no more” carries a strong double-negative meaning — “No way, by no means, absolutely not, will I remember their sins ever again!”

Now, since God says that He will remember your sins no more, why do you still remember them? Or for that matter, your spouse’s sins or one another’s sins?Today, my friend, God does not want you to be conscious of sins because He is not. So rejoice! Come to Him boldly and expect

Him to bless you because He remembers your sins no more!
