You will give an account , so says the bible.
Wittenberg:
Yes our sins are already forgiven. But in my present state I don't fully grasp the greatness of that truth. When I understand in excruciating detail my sins, I will in excruciating detail know God's love for me.
Mike Gagne:
That is why I have no condemnation why I sin, When His righteous Judgements are in the world ( mikes carnal heart ) will learn righteous.
Isa 43:25 and will not remember thy sins.
why will he not remember my sins?
1Co 13:5 Love taketh not account of evil;
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
Actually he causes mike to pluck out and throw away that old heart and he is replacing it with a new heart that understands righteous
Wittenberg:
I don't know how to say this so bare with me: the point of existence isn't to live sinless, the point is to become like God. I hope I remember my sinning ways for eternity, so I can see the forgiveness for eternity.
I read a quote this week and put some thought into it, it's not scripture but it blessed me nonetheless. "Suffering forgotten isn't suffering." When I sin, I suffer. My sinning ways are my Egypt experience or my captivity. If I forget my suffering, will I appreciate my deliverance?
Mike Gagne:
Writtenburg, I understand how you feel, for the last nine months i was decorating my veins with a little steel pin, hadn't done that in ten years. But I am not condemned over it. As a brother has said from this site, Jesus is just getting me better at His Good works. Maybe when Jesus has completed that part of His Good work in me I might never decorate again with those pins and the thoughts of my heart that willingly caused me to do those things will no longer be able to go against His Good works. There was learning for me there, not condemnation.
Glory to God
Wittenberg:
I'm blessed to hear that. I asked God this week to change me, He said He will, but didn't give a time frame. I guess I'll wait. Be blessed
