Jeremiah 50:20 “In those days, at that time,” declares the Lord, “search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare”

Ya know friends of all the amazing things that God can do, there is one mind-boggling thing that He chooses not to do: remember forgiven sins.

When we ask God to forgive our sins, He wipes them away completely. He does not mark out some of them, most of them, or even all but one of them. They are all gone in His sight.

On Judgment Day, God will consider the lives of all people. For those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, God will not see any sins, instead He will only see His grace and forgiveness.

It is interesting that Jeremiah 50:20 says that not even Israel’s guilt will be found. We are the ones who are good at finding guilt and allowing it to remain around even though our sins have been forgiven. But that is not what God wants for us. He forgives us so that we can live guilt-free.

Thought for Today: The Blood of Jesus not only removes our sin, it takes away our guilt!
