It is good to frequently take inventory of your life. To forget what lies behind means not allowing anything in the past be counted for us or against us for the purpose of personal gain or slef-deprication. When God forgets our sin, He doesn't choose amnesia to erase His memory. In fact, He has every deed done with our hands, and every thought that passes through our brain and every word that comes out of our mouth waiting for us to inspect and recognize the Holy, omniscient, all powerful, all knowing, all forgiving/ merciful nature of God through the redemptive blood of Jesus. I believe He will obliterate our sin during our private audience with Jesus on that day we stand alone before Him. And He will publicly exalt each and every one of these for each and every one of us at the great awards banquet.
On the day of judgment, each saint will be able to appreciate to the fullest the costly price Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit paid for our redemption because we will see clearly and truly comprehend all things. I believe we will have our own private audience with Jesus and He will enable us to experience His blood covering all of our sin and remove it completely from our memory.
Looking back is for confirmation we are headed in the right direction, as much as it is for seeing where we have come from. God will publicly give us recognition for each and every victorious and pure thought, word spoken or deed accomplished that brought Him glory. These we will always be known for throughout all of eternity. Everyone will have complete knowledge of every, and all, good each individual brought into His kingdom for His glory.
That is going to be one awesome awards banquet! And what a wonderful eternal existence we will enjoy.
Now, forgetting what lies behind, press on toward the upward calling of Christ Jesus.
