If you have a painful list of forgiven sins that you can't forget, remember, God’s grace is not only amazing, but, erasing.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And somewhere in the back of my memory, I have a list. It's a list of "forgiven sins that I cannot forget." The list isn't long; in fact it's short, but it does contain a handful of personal transgressions that, to me, tend toward the vile and disgusting. In my lowest moments, those sins on that list flash in front of my brain, in neon lights, saying, "You did this, did this, did this." Maybe you have a list of sins you cannot forget. Well, take heart, because when we confess our sins, God wipes the slate clean; he erases that list of transgressions. The Bible says that God is love, and 1 Corinthians 13 assures you that love keeps no record of wrongs. So if you have a list in the back of your memory, a short but painful list of forgiven sins that you simply can't forget, remember, God’s grace is not only amazing, God’s grace is erasing.
