Theme~/Topic:*
*“Let it Go”*
* *
*V.
Introduction:*
As we look back over our lives, and as we think thing over, we can truly say that we’ve been blessed.
*Haven’t we been blessed?*
* *
Look where the Lord has brought you from.
*Haven’t you been blessed?!!!*
* *
*I know that I’ve been blessed!!!*
* *
Who would have ever thought that this little old country would be living in a house that has indoor toilets?-*Not just one, but three!!!*
· *A house with Air Conditioning*
· *Running water, no doubt!!!*
*Who would have ever thought that!!!!*
* *
*Look at your neighbor and tell them: *
*“Neighbor, I’ve been blessed”.*
* *
All of us ought to be standing on our feet and shouting like King David: *“Bless the LORD, O my soul: *
* and all that is within me,*
*/ bless/** His Holy Name.” *
Not only has He blessed us more that a abundantly,
*“He has not dealt with us after our sins; *
* nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.”
*
* *
* “He has removed our transgressions from us… *
* As far as the East is from the West.”
*[1]* *
So here we are on this the first Sunday in September, gathered together to observe the Eucharist, *The Lord’s Supper!!!*
And as we look back over our lives, we realize that God has blessed us in spite of all our many sins and transgression.
As we look at this communion table that has been spread before us in the sight of God, some of us may have guilty feeling in the pit of our stomachs because of past sins.
Well, I stopped by this morning to tell you:
*“You’d better Let it Go”!!!!*
*“It looks like another Love TKO”*
* *
*Let it Go!!!*
If you have repented of your sins and have truly asked God’s forgiveness, *“You can Let It Go”!!!*
*It’s been another “Love TKO”!!!*
* *
*Yes!!!! God has Knocked them out!!!*
* *
*“He has removed your sins away from us as far as the East is from the West.”
*
* *
*So, Let them Go!!!*
*Illustration: *

* points.

*B. **East vs West~/North vs South – The Globe*
* *
*God has removed our sins away from Himself as far as the East is from the West!!!*
* *
The Bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that*; “… all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God…” *
None is righteous, no not one according to the Apostle Paul.
But isn’t it wonderful to know that we serve a Merciful and Loving God.
--A God that, because of His love for us, has not punished us according to the sins that we are under.
He remembers that we are made of the dust of the earth (born in sin and shaped in iniquity).
And we all know that any punishment rendered unto us would be justified.
But God said that He would separate us from our sins as far as the East is from the West.
*Not North from South, but East from West!!!*
* *
Isn’t it wonderful to know that if we travel east, there’s no end to an easterly direction.
That’s what God wants us to know.--That
His separation of us from our sins is infinite.
God speaks to us this morning through the prophet Isaiah, in Isaiah 43:25 where He says,
*“I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for *
* mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.”*
* *
Jeremiah knew it too!!! God speaks through Jeremiah,
* … “saith the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and I *
* will remember their sin no more.
*(Isaiah 31:34)
*If we but Fear the Lord and repent and ask for forgiveness of our sins, He will be faithful and forget our sins (never to bring them up again).*
* *
*I think you’d better **Let it Go!!!!** *
*It looks like another Love TKO!!!*
* *
We, as preachers of the Gospel, must tell dying men and women that Jesus loves them.
*That Jesus died for all our sins.*
*That He will “lift you up, turn you all around.
*
*and place your feet on solid ground.”*
* *
*“Let it Go”!!!!*
* *
*VI.
Text Lesson: \\ *But there is somebody here this morning wondering,
*“Does God really forgive and forget?
*
As Christians, we know that He forgives and we deeply appreciate that forgiveness!!!
But once we are forgiven, what does God do with the \\ memory of that sin?
· *Does God “Really” forget?
*
· *Can God “Really” forget?*
* *
I might also ask: *What do we do with our own memories of our \\ past sins?
*
Paul tells us in Corinthians that we are to examine ourselves to see how we are doing in our walk with God.
* For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink /this/ cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. *
*G**But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of /that/ bread, and drink of /that/ cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnationh to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
*[2]* *
* *
When we examine ourselves, we come to better understand our need for repentance and forgiveness.
–
*For who among us is worthy of the blood of Jesus Christ.*
In the process of examining ourselves, many of us will remember past sins, sins that we have repented of and have been forgiven of.
*But we’ve got to **“Let them Go!!!!** **God has”!!!*
