DON’T LISTEN TO THE LIES

“And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Jeremiah 31:34 (

King James Version)

One of the ways that satan tries to discourage and defeat us is by telling us that our sins can’t be forgiven. I submit to you on the authority of the Word of God that is a lie straight from the pits of hell. Jesus said that He will forgive our iniquity. Not only does He forgive our sins, He never remembers them again.

Does that mean that Jesus has a poor memory? Of course not, He knows everything and if He chose to do so, He would remember all of our sins and all the times that we hurt Him. However, Jesus is a loving compassionate Saviour and that is why He chooses to forget our sins.

So many times, we tell people that we forgive them but the next time they do something to hurt us we say “You did the same thing last week”. We have not forgiven them. We just gave them lip service. If we want others to forgive us for hurting them, we had better forgive them. None of us are perfect.

The greatest Christian you know is just a sinner saved by grace. There was only one perfect person who ever lived or ever will live and His name is Jesus. We must forgive from our hearts.

If you are listening to the lies of satan, stop it! Listen to the truth that Jesus tells us when He says “I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more”. Who do you believe, satan or Jesus?
