They say elephants have a long memory. We have even used them as images in advertising to make a point about retention of information & important things...
While having a good memory in general is a wonderful asset, when it comes to Sin, a good memory is probably not such a good thing...

Then you will remember your past sins and despise yourselves for all the detestable things you did.

God’s Remedy for our Memory & Misgivings - The Sacrifice of our High Priest: JESUS
New Living Translation Chapter 36
31 Then you will remember your past sins and despise yourselves for all the detestable things you did
Hebrews 8:
And I will forgive their wickedness,
and I will never again remember their sins.”
Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says,
“This is the new covenant I will make
with my people on that day, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”
Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”
New Living Translation Chapter 10
11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 13 There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.
15 And the Holy Spirit also testifies that this is so. For he says,
16 “This is the new covenant I will make
with my people on that day, says the LORD:
I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds.”
17 Then he says,
“I will never again remember
their sins and lawless deeds.”
Our Second Problem with Sin - It always Leads to DEATH
Our Second Problem with Sin - It always Leads to DEATH
Each of these passages is take from the promise of God, made in Jeremiah Chapter 31 in which He promises a NEW COVENANT
There is a path before each person that seems right,
but it ends in death.
These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s Remedy for our Pine Box Problem: The Sacrifice of His Son: JESUS
The person who sins is the one who will die. The child will not be punished for the parent’s sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child’s sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own righteous behavior, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
With his own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
“I—yes, I alone—will blot out your sins for my own sake
and will never think of them again.
