“For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.”
Hebrews 8:12 KJV
This knowledge of me will never again be based on sin-consciousness. My act of mercy, extended in Christ as the new covenant, has removed every possible definition of sin from memory! God’s memory of our sins was not what needed to be addressed in the redemption of our innocence. God did not have a problem with sin-consciousness, we had! He wasn’t hiding from Adam and Eve in the garden - they were hiding from Him! What needed to be addressed was our perceptions of a judgmental God, which was the inevitable fruit of partaking of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This was the loss of our identity and the ensuing crises till Jesus restored it by taking every judgment of the fruit of the good and evil knowledge by becoming the tree of life on the Cross for mankind. Thus sin has been removed and righteousness restored. Let’s be forever thankful of God’s mercy triumphing over judgment in Christ! Hallelujah!
