Confession: Sins are Forgiven & Forgotten

He recounts Jesus’ command to his apostles to forgive sins, and once forgiven, they are forgotten by God. Scripture says “..your sins I will remember no more” [Hebrews 8:12].

God wants us to forget our sins and move on with life, towards our ultimate goal – union with him.
