Once we have truly repented, our sins are immediately cast from us..as far as the east is from the west. After that point, God no longer remembers our sin. Our spiritual slates are clean.
Why then, do we perservere in carting around the heavy load of remembered sin? We hang on to things that God has released. Perhaps it is our lack of believing in His promises..or even our lack of trust in Him..that prevents us from enjoying the liberty that comes from simply being forgiven. Perhaps in some strange way, we taunt ourselves because we don't believe we are who God says we are.
Jesus died so that we as believers could live victorious, reconciled, liberated, joyful, productive, and beautiful lives. Give thanks to the Lord for your clean slate by enjoying the freedom that He died for you to have. Let go of your past, and put the load down. When you have gone to Jesus with a repentant heart, you have been forgiven.
