Here is a poem celebrating God’s promise to forget our sins, anchored in Scripture:
---
**Remember No More**
*You promised, Lord—etched in Your Word—
My sins recalled no more.
Not filed away, not stored to weigh,
But cast from memory’s door.*
*As east from west, You tore apart
The record of my debt (Psalm 103:12).
No ghost of shame can speak my name—
Your covenant stands, set.*
*The scarlet stain, like crimson rain,
Now white as driven snow (Isaiah 1:18).
Not by my hand, but by command
Of Grace no debt can owe.*
*You hurled my chains to ocean floors
Where light can never creep (Micah 7:19).
No depth can trace that buried place—
Your mercy holds it deep.*
*"New creation!" Your declaration (2 Cor. 5:17),
Old shadows flee Your gaze.
No ledger tall, no guilt at all—
My past is lost in praise (Hebrews 8:12).*

### Key Scriptural Pillars:
1. **Eternal Erasure**
*"I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."* (Hebrews 8:12, Jeremiah 31:34)
God’s forgetfulness is an act of divine will—not oversight, but covenant promise.
2. **Distance of Grace**
*"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions."* (Psalm 103:12)
The poem’s "east from west" imagery reflects infinite separation from sin.
3. **Cleansing Contrast**
*"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."* (Isaiah 1:18)
The vivid shift from "scarlet" to "white" marks transformative forgiveness.
4. **Buried in the Deep**
*"You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."* (Micah 7:19)
No dredging or recovery—God sinks our failings beyond reach.
5. **New Creation Reality**
*"If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone!"* (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Identity in Christ severs the past’s claim on us (Romans 8:1).
> 🌿 *Fun Fact:* The phrase "remember no more" (Hebrews 10:17) uses the Greek *ou mē mnēsthō eti*—a triple negative meaning **"never, ever, by no means remembered again."** Divine amnesty is absolute.
