Would anyone like to make comments on Hebrews chapter 10,verse 17?

Question

total forgiveness

Answer 1

Hebrews 10:17 promises: "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more". This scripture is a reminder that when the Lord forgives us of our sins, he does exactly that.

Unlike humans who hold grudges, and claim to forgive, yet constantly remind others of what they've done wrong in the past, or are slow to rebuild trust....The Lord forgives us and treats our sin as if they had never happened.

We begin with a clean slate, and God considers us His loving children. Whether the sin be a lie, stealing, or the most evil and unforgivable by human standards...the Lord will release us from the fear of judgment and forgive us, if we truly repent and seek forgiveness.

This is just one example of God's grace, mercy, love, and perfect forgiveness. Blessings, Miji

It is always helpful to look at the context when trying to find out what a Bible passage means. Here Paul is commenting on the difference between the system of God's grace under the Law of Moses, and that under Christ. Under the law of Moses, (verse 11) the people, through the priesthood had to offer animal sacrifices on an ongoing and continual basis. Verse 12 tells us that when Christ offered himself in sacrifiice, it was a single sacrifice offered for ALL TIME. So, not only did it become the catalyst which those animal sacrifices needed to be validated, but it became the basis upon which we, in our time can access God's forgiveness. When we obtain this forgiveness, our sins and misdeeds are remembered no more. We can access this wonderful grace by establishing(Rom 1:16-17) our relations with Christ's sacrifice, through belief in the gospel, and baptism into his name. (Rom.8:1-3). this relationship needs to be maintained as Paul says in Heb.10:26. Weakness is forgiven, but we are expected to make effort to change our ways. Glad to see you are studying your Bible. Good for you! Enjoy!

I would like to be able to do what this verse suggests. Unfortunately, I'm very human and tend to hold grudges. It's difficult to forgive, and it's even more difficult to forget. It's important, however, to do as the verse says, not for the benefit of the person who wronged you, but for your own benefit. How do you do it? If I "forgive" and don't really feel forgiving, then I'm lying.

I've been wrestling with this for a number of years, and am finally getting some results. Rather than avoiding thinking about the bad things that were done to me, I dive into them. I roll in them. I jump into my own personal sewer. Paradoxically, the more I deal with the bad things that were done to me, the better able I am to forgive the person. I am better able to put myself in the person's place and understand what might have been motivating them. I can better see them as human beings with their own problems.

If a person has been badly abused, it may be necessary to get help from another person because of the memories that might be dredged up. But once you face the abuse and work through it, it's liberating. The truth truly does set you free. You sometimes have to go through a wringer first, however.

The reference right that's to their religious instructors, and to no longer civil rulers. They have been to tutor them acceptable admire, and to undergo their authority interior the church, so a procedures because it replaced into administered in accordance with the precepts of the Saviour. the legal duty to obedience would not, of direction, strengthen to something that's misguided in itself, or which may well be a contravention of judgment of right and incorrect. The doctrine is, that subordination is had to the welfare of the church, and that there could desire to be a disposition to yield all acceptable obedience to those who're set over us interior the Lord; learn notes on a million Thessalonians 5:12-13. See additionally Hebrews 13:7.
