Psalm
103:12 NLT He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
103:12
East and west can never meet. This is a symbolic portrait of God’s forgiveness.
When He forgives our sin, He separates it from us and doesn’t even remember it.
We need never wallow in the past, for God forgives and forgets. We tend to
dredge up the ugly past, but God has wiped our record clean. If we are to
follow God, we must model His forgiveness. When we forgive another, we must
also forget the sin. Otherwise we have not truly forgiven.
We
must thank and be grateful to God for dealing with our rebellious ways. He has
removed them as far as the east is to the west. This is a symbolic portrait of
God’s forgiveness; when He forgives our sins, He separates us from them and
remembers them no more. We do not need to wallow in the past. God forgives and
He forgets what we have previously done. We all tend to dredge up the ugly
past, but God has wiped our record clean. If we are to follow God we must
remodel our behaviour and accept His forgiveness. When we forgive one another,
we must also forget the sin, or otherwise we have not truly forgiven.
