Remember or Forget

Today I read Jeremiah 42:20-46:12 and Hebrews 6:9-7:9. My favorite verses are:

Jeremiah 46:10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

Hebrews 6: 10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

God has a great memory. He remembers the wickedness of His enemies and punishes them; He remembers the goodness of those who minister in His name and rewards them. Which side are you on? If you are an enemy of God, He offers you a chance to repent and be saved. He gave His only Son to die for your sins so that you do not have to suffer the punishment you deserve. If you turn from your evil ways to follow the will of God, then you will receive a reward for doing good. When you repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Savior, God chooses to forget the wickedness you have done in the past. Thankfully, He has an eternal “forgetter” when He chooses to forgive us and save us.
