Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
So many churches preach the old covenant laws. They believe we are still under the 10 commandments and must purify ourselves daily.
As we look over these bible verses however, God says not only does he forgive our sins, he also remembers them no more.
I hope we can read this verse and believe that Jesus truly died for ALL sins. He took care of our past sins which held us down. He took care of our present sins that makes us feel shame and inadequate, and even our future sins are washed.
Our God is a holy, evelasting, and eternal father. Therefore, let us have faith that every work/deed he does is also forever. Let us believe that no matter how traumatic, evil, or bad we were, we have been redeemed forever through Jesus. Amen Hallelujah!
