Hebrews 8:12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.
We are forgiven. God is not counting up our sins against us and He’s not waiting until judgement day to reveal all that we’ve done. We are totally and completely forgiven of all past, present, and future sins.
In the Old Covenant, God held people accountable for everything they’ve done and everything their parents had done. In this New Covenant, the sacrifice of Jesus paid for all of our sins and there is nothing left to owe.
No, God doesn’t want us to continue to engage in sinful behavior. God hates sin. But, if we should sin, God still loves us and views us as righteous. God’s righteous love is not based on our actions or behavior. His love is based on the sacrifice Jesus made on our behalf. Because Jesus paid for our sins, we are righteous.
Get rid of guilt and shame and know because of Jesus, we are the righteousness of God.
