Are you being reminded and bothered by sins you committed in the past? Do the bad things you did in the past keep coming up in your mind and making you feel guilty all over again? You know, Jesus will forgive you for those things and He won’t remember them anymore. In fact, we recently celebrated Jesus taking your sins into Himself, dying with them, then defeating death and the grave setting you free from your past sin. You can be free! If you’ve already asked Him to forgive you, be assured that He HAS and if you bring the matter up, He might say, “What are you talking about? That’s already been taken care of.”
There was a song from the 70s by the Speer Family that said, “What sins are you talking about? I don’t remember them anymore.” Psalm 103:12 says, “As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.” You are free from your past sin IF you’ve accepted Jesus’ sacrifice. Micah 7:19 reminds us, “He will again have compassion on us; He will vanquish our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.”
Remember the woman caught in the act of adultery in John 8? She was brought and thrown at Jesus’ feet and she was guilty of a crime for which the penalty was stoning to death. She didn’t even ask for forgiveness but Jesus took up for her; He stood up for her. He told those ready to throw stones, “If you haven’t sinned, go ahead and throw your rock.” They all left because they all had sinned. When they had all gone, Jesus asked the woman where her accusers were. I imagine she might have said, “No one is accusing me now, Sir.” Then Jesus said, “I’m not accusing you either, (I forgive you), BUT go and don’t sin anymore.” I’ve given you your life so don’t go back to your past sins. You are free!
Today, we can all be free of our past whether it was years ago or just this morning. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9). Do it now! Jesus is waiting just for you.

This is so needed in this time. So many people let satan depress them over forgiven sins.
