God Forget? Really?

we may just own a comforting delusion

believing that God forgets what He forgives

but we could be mistaken

taking His “I will remember them no more”

for a “I have forgotten them”

but “I will remember them no more” is active

it is a deliberate action on God’s part

to not hold what we’ve done against us

and “I have forgotten them” is passive

implies God has lost a thing He shouldn’t have

introducing a flaw into He who must be perfect

of what value is God’s forgiving our sins

if God could forget what He’s forgiven

forgiveness is the not holding against

it is not the forgetting it ever happened
