Forget about remembering…
It was part of an ad on TV.
Without context, it is a bit of a head scratcher. With context, it actually makes sense. More on that later…
God spoke through Jeremiah and said: “For I will forgive their iniquity, and I
will remember their sin no more.”
Does He forget our sin, like I forget details at times?
Does He purge His memory like we might command a computer to
do so?
Does He put our sin in the “back of His mind” so that He
does not readily recall?
Based on what we know about God, it would be impossible for
Him to forget. The explanation I’ve
heard is that He doesn’t actually forget, but once our sins are forgiven, He
chooses to remember them no more.
Oh, the ad, well, it had to do with a medication that is
effective when you take it regularly. If
you forget, well there could be consequences.
So you normally have to remember to take it. But the medication has been reengineered and
it now is a sustained release medication.
Now you can forget about remember to take it and it won’t matter, at
least for a few days anyway. But you had
better remember to take it again before the sustained release releases no more.
But with God, there is a release that is sustained permanently
as He remembers our sin no more.
