Divine Amnesia

"And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sinsHebrews 8:12


Most know that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. Amazing qualities, huh? However, and this is good for us, He tends to forget some things. And He forgets them forever. How is this possible? Well, He is omnipotent. What are those things that He forgets? Our sins. Really? Yes. Contrary to us, who tend to remember bad stuff people did to us, or bad stuff we have done in our lives, when God forgives us, He completely deletes those out of His memory.

I don't know about you, but that is the best thing about God. He does not hold a grudge against you. If you ask for forgiveness, He forgives. In a split of a second. And He will never ever remind you of those things again. Maybe you don't understand how much it is. If not, you probably have not understood how bad is evil that every one of us do in our lives. It is big. But yet, again, God's love is even greater. To such an extent that He can forgive 7 billion people and never remember anything evil they have done in their lives. This is the gift of all ages from an eternal Holy God to us humans. If you feel guilty about anything you have done in your life - Jesus is the answer. Ask Him to forgive you and He will. And He won't remember. It's great that God has this kind of Amnesia. ðŸ˜…

Bible verse of the day 16


Today I want to look at a few verses from Genesis 22:1/12:” 1 Some time later God tested Abraham. 12 Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.“

In order to understand better the context of these sentences I would encourage you to read the whole 22 chapter of the book. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. In these times this would sound absolutely crazy. Nobody of us could do it. Yet, God had a plan in His mind and just wanted to test Abraham’s obedience. There are times when we expect something from God and there are times when He tests us and expects something from us. 

God wants to have healthy relationship with us – people. He is omnipotent, omniscient, immutable and present everywhere at the same time. However, He has put a part of Himself into us and wants to fellowship with us. He shares very precious things with us and He expects something back. He gave the best of what He had – His only Son Jesus Christ. What will you give Him? I am giving this question for myself too. Have a nice day!
