Sins of God's People are Recorded in Scripture Does God Really Forget Sins? Answered by Paul Ellis

Q:  God says He will remember the sins of His people no more yet the bible records sins of His people such as Paul, David, Abraham. The word of God lasts forever. Does God choose to forget His own word? How can He no longer remember their sins if they are recorded in scripture?

A:  by Paul Ellis
That is a really good question! When Isaiah said the word of the Lord stands forever, he was not referring to the Bible. The Bible is not God’s diary and it was not written to remind Him of stuff; it was written for us: “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us” (Rom 15:4). Teach us to what purpose? That we might be trained in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16). The works of the flesh are recorded to show us the dreadful consequences of a life of independence. We’re the ones who need reminding. Yes, God chooses to forget our sin. And then He reminds us that He has chosen to forget just in case we had forgotten!
