A new beginning.....
hmmmm
a clean slate
white as snow
everything good and bad gone
not even having to correct the mistakes you made, they wouldn't be there.
a new person
a new creation
a new start in life
Isn't this what God did for us by sending Jesus?
He sent His only Son to save us for our sins, wipe our slate clean. He created a new covenant, a new creation in each of us. He died for us, and made us white as snow. When we ask for forgiveness, He washes us clean and everything, I mean everything that we did is gone, out in the vast sea of forgiveness, never to be remembered by God again. When we accept Jesus as our Saviour, He does all of this for us. We die with Him with our Baptism and become a new creature.
2 Cor 5:17-21
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
NKJV
Can we as the imperfect humans we are living like this? is it possible?
Being human, we are not able to forget the past, it has to become a learning tool to proceed on. But... we also must know that for God, it is forgotten, because He is God and capable of doing so. We are not, and depending on our use of free will, will determine how much we remember.
