How little we understand of eternal redemption! How many times will God forgive you? If you have truly set your heart to follow Him, He will cancel your sins as often as you ask. Will He forgive you of the worst sin you can think of? Yes! You may have to live with the consequences of your misdeed, but the redemptive power of God is such that, even in your sin, there are many things of value to be reclaimed. As for the sin itself, if you deeply and sincerely repent of it, not only will God forgive you, He will blot it out of His memory. \n

Let me share an experience. A certain man of God had been gifted with revelatory insight into people\u2019s lives. During an evening service he ministered to a Presbyterian pastor and his wife. By the gift of the Spirit, he revealed the couple\u2019s past, uncovered their present situation and then disclosed to them what was to come. This work of God greatly impressed the couple, and as the prophecies were fulfilled, one month later the Presbyterian minister brought two other pastors, each with their wives, to another service for personal ministry. <\/p>\n

The word of knowledge was exceptionally sure that night, and the second minister and his wife marveled at the accuracy and truth in the prophetic word. The third couple stepped forward for ministry and again the word of knowledge was present. The prophet spoke to the husband, revealing his past, present and insight into his future. Then the man of God turned to this third minister\u2019s wife. As he began to speak of her past, suddenly he stopped. \u201cThere was a very serious sin in your past.\u201d The woman, with her worst fear seemingly upon her, turned pale and closed her eyes. The congregation hushed and moved to the edge of their seats.<\/p>\n

The prophet continued, \u201cAnd I asked the Lord, \u2018What was this sin that she committed?\u2019 And the Lord answered, \u2018I do not remember!\u2019<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

The Lord had been faithful to His promise: \u201cI will not remember your sins\u201d (Isa. 43:25). Although many times this minister\u2019s wife had asked for cleansing, still she could not believe the depth of God\u2019s forgiveness. Christ had placed her sin in the sea of His forgetfulness. He removed it \u201cas far as the east is from the west\u201d (Ps. 103:12). From everywhere but the prison of her own mind, her sin had been paid for and removed. And now, in His great mercy, He removed it from there as well! <\/p>\n

Oh, what burdens we carry, what guilt and limitations surround us because we do not accept God\u2019s total and perfect forgiveness. In Isaiah we read, \u201cI, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins\u201d (Isa. 43:25). <\/p>\n

How great is the God we serve. How wonderful is His love toward us. He is our Redeemer! Our Savior! If you are willing to forgive others and will but ask Him to forgive you, He will pardon your debts as often as you contritely turn to Him. He promises He will remember your sins no more.<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
