Colossians 2:13-14

13 When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,

14 having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

 

How often do you feel guilty, condemned, or ashamed? How about related to your life as a Christian? Do you focus on your failures in your Christian life?  Do you pray like you should, give like you should, do you concentrate on the Word of God on a daily basis? If not, do you remember those failures?

 

Well, verse 13 above says that He has forgiven us ALL our sins, and He will not remember them:

 

Hebrews 10:17

17 "AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS

I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."  

 

Psalms 103:10-12

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

 

God has removed ALL our sins from us, and will not remember them.  He does not treat us according to them!

 

Romans 4:7-8

7 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN,

AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.

8 "BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."  

 

Any believer who is sin-conscious, and feels guilty, unworthy, condemned or ashamed even as far as their relationship with God goes, has been blinded by Satan concerning the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
