God is the Creator of universe, including you and me. He is all powerful, all-knowing and is present everywhere. He knows every wrong we have done and thought. He knows the plan we make and the life we live against His will.
Therefore, the Bible says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Even so, God still loves us. Because, God is Love (1 John 4: 8).
God loves us so much that He sent His Son Jesus Christ for the atonement of our sin. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”(John 3:16)
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12)
When we believed and received Jesus Christ, God forgive us and make us His Children (John 3:16 read with John 1:12)
And when God forgive us, He treats us as if we had never sin, as if the sin had not occurred. When God forgive our wrong, He also forgets. God says in the Bible, “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more” (Hebrew 8:12)
God wants us to forgive others as He has forgiven our sin. God say, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ” (Matthew 6:14)
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32).
If we do not forgive others we can loss eternal rewards, as the Bible says, “But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:15)
“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” (Hebrews 12:14-15)
“Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.” (2 John 1:8).
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32).
So, let’s “forgive one another” so that God may forgive us. And when we forgive someone, we must act as if that sin had never occurred. Even if we remember the sin, we must live as if we did not remember the sin.
Remember, yours, too. When you received Jesus Christ for your Lord and Saviour; God has forgiven you and promise not to remember your sin any more. So, do not remember your sin, too. Instead, “forget” about the past and try to grow spiritually. Study the Bible daily and always pray. Go to Church. Live and share God’s love with other Christians.
God bless you.
