Does God Forgive and Forget?
One of the key tenets of the Christian faith is the fact the God is merciful. It’s what salvation is all about. While God sees everything we do with our lives, he still sees someone he wants to save. Our salvation isn’t based on our actions nor is it disqualified by the acts of our past. That is what sets true Christianity apart from other faiths and religions that all depend on you acting a certain way to be qualified for their own version of salvation. But that poses somewhat of a paradox for Christianity. In Isaiah chapter 43 verse 25, it says “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.”
Now that idea is key for the salvation doctrine, but God also says that he knows everything. So the paradox comes up when the Bible says that God will forget our sins, but is He capable of forgetting? The submitted question asks this very question and it is enlightening to know the answer. “Does God forgive and forget?”
