A Reminder of God’s Mercy
First lets talk about you:
Lets talk aboout God:
But Lets us also talk about God’s mercy:
Such amazing words.
And How is this possible?
God does not just “sweep our sins under the rug”.
That would be unjust.
The wages of sin is death.
Rather od has delt with our sins through the suffering and deatrh of Jesus Christ.
And now we can be forgives, so long as:
Repent.
Lets take a moment to think about that Word.
Yes it mean a 180 degree turn around, we all know that - but its so much more than that.
For repentance to occur there needs to be a revelation of the filthy nature of sin.
You cannot and will not repent of a mistake, and to many people see their sins as just mistakes - we all make mistakes.
But sin is not a mistake - its an offecing to the Holy God, iuts an abomination in his sight!
And you need to see your sin, as Goid sees your sin in order to actually repent.
When people apparently reptn today they say, Im sorry God… walk outside light up a smoke or aurgue with their wife.
But biblically when people repented they showed more conviction that that.
When Jonah told Niniveah that God was angry at their sins the whole city repented:
Compare that with what you see rtoday and you will understand the problem.
The problem is that people no longer have any understaning or recogniotion of the full weight and wickedness of their sin.
And still, deep down believe, that they may not be perfect, but they are good people.
And this lingering delusion is the cause of a big problem.
Here is the problem:
If you dont understand the fiull weight and gravity of the sin which God graciously forgave you of, you will have a problem forgivers others of their far less sins against you.
The problem with this parable today is that most people do not see themselves as the first servant.
They dont undertand the magnitude of the spiritual debt they were in, which God forgave - and so the debt own to them is demanded.
But I cant let it go pastor, they really offened and insulted me!
But let me ask you: Where you a victem of attempted murder?
Where you a victem of a kidnapping cover up?
Where you a victem of human traffecing and sold into the life long slave trade where you spent 10 years in a damp prison cell for being wrongly accued of rape by your slave masyter?
No, but Joseph did look at the request:
How was Joseph able to forgive all this?
Was it because he was a moral ghodly man, was just a petter person that you, was he stonger than you?
NO!!!
He simply knew how much God had forgiven him and freely he recieved freely he gave.
Forgive and Forget?
So do we just forgive and forget?
No, that impossible.
Lets talk about remembering and forgetting for just a moment.
God says that he will no remember our sins against Him.
= What does that mean?
Does it mean that God will forget them?
Will God be ignorant of them?
Whatr is meant by the phrase “remember no more”?
Well in the bible Remembering and forgetting has nothing to do with recollection.
It has nothing to do with the memorcy of something.
For example:
Dos this mean that God forgot about Noah in the ark? that God misplaced hium like we forget to check on the food before it burns?
Of course not.
And this is where we find out what it means to forgive and forget:
The phrase “remembered” means choose to act.
God chose to act upon Noah and the animals and so caused the water to receiede.
So when God says that He will remeber our sins no more, he is saying that God is Choosing NOT to act upon our sins.
He is NOT going to punish us.
He is NOT going to cast us away.
He has forgievn us YES, and he is NOT going to act on our sins.
This is the essence of forgivness.
And this is where you have the choice: If you remember the sins it means that you are going to act on them and hold people in judgment.
But to forgive and forget does not mean that the momory of the event is actually forgotten, it simply mrans trhat you are chgoosing NOT to act on that memory.
You are not going to let it controll your well being.
