DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes God's covenant of grace, illustrating that
while God has an 'iron memory' for the sins of the wicked, He chooses to
forget the sins of the righteous. This divine amnesia signifies His
mercy and the transformative power of His laws written on our hearts and
minds. Brooks reassures believers that their iniquities are completely
forgotten, highlighting the profound nature of God's forgiveness and the
assurance it brings to the faithful.

"This is the covenant that I will make with them after

those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws on their

hearts, and I will write them on their minds, I will

never again remember their sins and their

lawless acts." Hebrews 10:16-17

The meaning is, their iniquities shall be quite forgotten:

I will never more mention them, I will never more take

notice of them, they shall never hear more of them from

Me. Though God has an iron memory to remember the

sins of the wicked--yet He has no memory to remember

the sins of the righteous.
