Your Sins Are Not Being Recorded

I almost laughted when I read this little devotional. Alright, I'll be honest and tell you I did laugh. 

How can it be that my sins aren't recorded? God records practically everything so why not my sins? 

It is when you challenge God, I find out He comes back with an even bigger and better challenge that makes it where YOU have to search yourself instead of laying the blame at His feet. 

This is what He did for me when I asked about how this could be true, Him not recording my sins, and He gave me the answer that came from way deep down within me. 

When He looks at sin, He only see's Jesus and the price He paid and that is good enough for God. He also should me, He didn't need to keep any record because I had that covered. 

Not only do I keep track of my sins and refuse to let them go and I record the sins of others as well and refuse to help break their shackles as well. Gulp. 

It's time, I see things how God seems them and He eyes only see the blood of Jesus which makes everyone perfect in His eyes. It's when we look through our own is when we start to get into trouble.

God Bless.

Your Sins Are Not Being Recorded

Hebrews 8:12
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

I once read a comic book that showed how a man lusted after a woman, then died of a heart attack and went to heaven. In heaven, he saw a big screen showing everyone present a recording of all the sins that he had committed while on earth, including the last one. How embarrassing!

Don’t worry, that is not going to happen to you in heaven. There is no big screen with front-row and circle seats for everyone to sit and watch your past sins. There is no video recorder in heaven recording your sins right now. Because your lifetime of sins has already been punished in the body of Jesus, God declares to you, “Your sins and lawless deeds, I will by no means ever remember!”

This is true even for the Old Testament heroes of faith such as Abraham, Moses and David. If you read Hebrews 11, which was written after the cross of Jesus, you will notice that there is no record of their sins or failures. Yet, their life stories tell us that they were far from perfect.

Abraham lied twice about his wife Sarah. He told Pharaoh, and later, King Abimelech, that she was his sister to protect his own life. Moses killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew, and hid the body in the sand. David committed adultery with Bathsheba and later arranged for her husband to be killed in battle. Yet, their sins were not recorded in Hebrews 11, only their deeds done in faith!

God is showing you that He does not record your sins or failures today. Instead, He records your faith confessions and deeds done in response to what His Son has done for you. Every time you sin, every time you waver in your faith, God does not record it. But every time you believe Him and respond in faith, He records it! That should not make you want to sin more. It should free you to love God more!

So don’t be conscious of your failures. If God Himself does not remember them, who are you to remember them? Be conscious instead of your righteousness in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21), and you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17)

Thought For The Day
Don’t be conscious of your failures because God Himself does not remember them.
