The Bible says in Psalm 103 verse 12 as far as the East is from the West so far have you removed our Transgressions from us this is speaking about God's forgiveness that he's given to us and it's very poetic But there's a reason why it says the East is from the West What is the Bible trying to say because it doesn't say as far as the North is from the south or the south from the? North it says as the East is From the West and so if you think about you know the earth the earth is shaped Spherically, right? It's almost a perfect It is he that sits upon the circle of the earth and a sphere by definition is actually a three-dimensional Circle, okay Well when you're thinking about going north you go north north And then you hit the very top the North Pole at that point. What direction are you going? South North south north south everybody's with me How about if you're here and you start going east? East East East East East East do you see the difference? East never meets West What's the Bible saying poetically your sins are gone? Completely You're never gonna come in contact. I mean they're gone They're forgiven and so here's the thing when God forgives you he also forgets cuz here's the thing if you went to the Judgment seat of Christ and you come back in contact with your sins Well, then they're not really forgotten It's not really fitting with someone the three is talking about when God forgives you he also forgets It's done But when you get into an argument with someone and you say you always do this Bringing up the past right This is what you did last week Not really forgetting and the problem is when you say why I forgive you, but I'll never forget Then you don't forget All that means is you put it in your subconscious And then it's gonna come up again and that bitterness comes out and it's gonna be worse and worse It does not benefit you at all See God when he forgives us he forgets about it's done and what the Bible is saying is hey You know what? We ought to be like that and just forgive completely forgive people So if they do you wrong again, you don't think about the past. It's out of sight out of mind It's just this new situation where you're not upset about 50 things because here's the problem if somebody does you wrong once and You forgive but not forget When they do you wrong a second time, you're not upset about one thing You're upset about two things Because you never forgot about the last I talked about it a lot during the philosophical idea of bitterness We're basically it becomes fresh in your mind that root of bitterness comes back out And so if time goes by and this has happened 20 times over 10 years You're upset as if they did 20 things simultaneously Well, that's gonna make you pretty upset But if it's just one thing Then it's a lot easier to actually forgive
