Does God Remember My Sins?

2-Minute Devotion for Sunday, 5/17/26

I spoke to a Christian friend who expressed concern about the punishment she might receive for her past sins.

But does God punish those whom Christ has redeemed? Let’s examine the Scriptures that answer that question.

“Let the wicked forsake their ways
    and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
    and to our God, for he will freely pardon.” Isaiah 55:7 NIV

Jesus said, “Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” Luke 6:37b NIV

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 NIV

Do these Scriptures apply even though I have committed terrible sins? What if I had an abortion? What if I killed someone? What if I committed adultery? What if I engaged in homosexual acts? Will God forgive these sins?

“Come now, let’s settle this,”
    says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
    I will make them as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
    I will make them as white as wool.” Isaiah 1:18 NLT

“So repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins] and return [to God—seek His purpose for your life], so that your sins may be wiped away [blotted out, completely erased]” Acts 3:19 AMP (emphasis mine)

“… as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.” Psalm 103:12 NIV

“And their sins and their lawless acts I will remember no more [no longer holding their sins against them].” Hebrews 10:17 AMP

Let God’s Word answer your questions. He wants you to know how great is His mercy and love!

In His Love, Cindy
