Hebs 8: 12
I will remember their sins no more.
This book of Hebrews was written to the group of Jewish
believers as earlier in this chapter, the writer relates the past promises of God
to the nation of Israel and the law which were given through Moses.
The write said that this was the old covenant which required
sacrifices and rituals, now God has brought in the New Covenant which was
instituted through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross. The writer
explains that the past sacrifices were inadequate to remove the sins of the
people.
Therefore God had to bring into operation His perfect plan of
making the perfect sacrifice which is to offer His Son who is without sin. This
was the supreme sacrifice which satisfied all the requirements of God and then
after there was no further need to make anymore sacrifices.
The writer of Hebrews tell us that God now puts the
scriptures into our hearts and minds which will through the power of the Holy
spirit guide and lead us in our walk with him and as we do that God will
delight in our allegiance and obedience and he will remember our sins no more.
This is our blessing and privilege that we can constantly
come before the Lord and seek His mercy and grace asking for His forgiveness
for every sin that we commit both knowingly or unknowingly. There are many
times in our lives that we are careless and fall into sin. All these must be
repented and God will hear our prayers and will surely forgives us as His word
has said so.
