Who Is God? Part 15

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:34

A two-fer this morning as we read this verse from the prophet, God wants to be known and will forgive them. This we read as not just forgiving some group of folks who lived long ago, but those of us who live right now believing in His Son. Notice how effective God's forgiveness is in that He remembers the sin no more. Have you ever forgiven and then tried to forget entirely the incident and memory of it? I have not been entirely successful in this. We do well to work on the seventy times seven times of forgiveness for this reason. Also we read today that the agnostic system which holds that God cannot be known will be abolished from the least of them to the greatest of them, by the Lord's command.

We love this day our Lord and rejoice that He wants to be known by us and forgives our every sin.
