Sin Obliterated (This is cool!) Not only can Christians relax in total peace because God has cleansed us of all sin, but when God says He will remember our sins no more, the Hebrew word used is, "obliterated." Our sins have been eradicated out of existence. Forgetting them was enough but, praise God, there is nothing left of them!! With that in mind, in Philippians, Paul says to look at it this way: "I forget what lies behind and run swiftly toward what's ahead.” What was ahead for Paul (and is ahead for us), was the prize he could lay at Jesus’ feet. He strove heavenward at the task Christ had for Him. In the Greek, the word used for ”forget” is to the point of "oblivion."; There it is again! God says He obliterates any memory of our sins and Paul lets us know that means we are not to dwell, for even one moment, on past sins. That is absolutely awesome?!! Whether your sin happened a year ago or one minute before now, for Christians, that sin has been expunged from all memory. It's been eliminated, exterminated, and annihilated. Why? That's what God's done for us because he loves us, and so that we can focus on helping others come to heaven with us. SO NOW, GET MOVING FORWARD!!
