The truth about the Sabbath #6 - what erases the sin recorded on the tables of the heart?
Leviticus 4:27-29
If anyone of the common people sins unintentionally by doing something against any of the commandments of the Lord in anything which ought not to be done, and is guilty, if his sin which he has committed comes to his knowledge, then he shall bring as his offering a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has committed. And he shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering at the place of the burnt offering. Then the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour all the remaining blood at the base of the altar.
Because the wages of sin is death, the person who committed sin has to bring the goat that would be put do death. After the sin has been placed onto the goat, the goat is put to death. The blood of that goat is placed on the horns of the altar. The reason the blood is put on the horns of the altar is because the goat's death has paid the price of the sin. The records of sin are erased by the blood that covers them. This is what it means to blot them out. The blood of Jesus Christ erases all the records of sin in heaven.
If so, what erases the sin recorded on the tables of the heart? Jesus was crucified, died, and washed away all of my sins. When you believe that, they are all washed away. A person who still thinks that he is a sinner because there is no faith that the blood of Jesus has washed his or her sins away. Our sins have all been washed away through the blood that Jesus shed on the cross.
However, when people don't know this, they say they are sinners. Because I cannot check for myself whether I have sins or not, I look at the Bible, which is the Word of God. The Bible says the record of our sins have all been erased. It says that nowhere in heaven is there any record of sins that remain. Another important thing to consider is that God does not remember our sins.
Jeremiah 31:34
saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
