A divine justice
Charles Spurgeon
RESUMEN: When we know the Lord, we receive forgiveness of sins and He promises to remember them no more. The Atonement removed all sin, and the believer is now as accepted in Christ Jesus as Adam was in his innocence. We should be vigilant to never offend God through disobedience, but rejoice that our sins will never be mentioned against us. Source: The Bank of Faith Checkbook.
When we know the Lord, we receive the forgiveness of sins. We know Him as the God of Grace, who overlooks our transgressions. What a happy discovery this is!
But how divinely expressed this promise is: the Lord promises that He will remember our sins no more! Can God forget? He says He will, and He means what He says. He will consider it as if we had never sinned. The great Atonement so effectively removed all sin, that to the mind of God it is as if it did not exist. The believer is now as accepted in Christ Jesus as Adam was in his innocence; yes, even more so, for he wears divine justice, while Adam's was only human.
