Here is true rest for the exercised conscience.
The eye of infinite holiness cannot discern a single stain of guilt upon the conscience that has been one purged by the precious blood of Christ. All the sins and iniquities of the believer are plunged in the waters of eternal oblivion. God has pledged Himself never to remember them. He can say, “I have not beheld iniquity in Jacob.” Man cannot undertake to forget. He cannot prevent memory from throwing up, at times, upon its surface, the record of the past; but God can. The atoning work of the Lord Jesus has forever canceled the believer’s guilt, so that it can never again rise against him.
Dear young reader, have you been led by God’s Spirit and by the action of the Word, to see your guilt in the light of the divine presence? Have you been brought to own yourself utterly lost? If so, you can, at this moment, enter into all the tranquilizing power of those most blessed words: “Thy sins and iniquities will I remember no more.”
Jesus paid the debt—paid it on the cross—paid it in blood. Believe this, on the authority of God, and your soul shall have the sweetest peace, If God assures you that He will no more remember your sins and iniquities, then verily, peace—divine and eternal peace is your settled portion—peace founded on the blood of Christ, and the imperishable record of God.
