Forgiven

Hebrews 8:13 
By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. (NIV)

What if the speed limit on the highway used to be 55 mph and it was changed to be 70 mph. Then you were pulled over for doing 60 mph. You could not be charged with violating the old law because you were doing over the old speed limit of 55 mph. The new had replaced the old.

Jesus came and gave us a new covenant and new replaces old. He has given each of us Holy Spirit to reside within us and comfort us, yes, but also to teach us and guide us into all truth. Under the new covenant He promised us:

Hebrews 8:10-12
This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. (NIV)

Unlike our friends and relatives, He remembers our past transgressions no more. He forgives us of that wickedness we were guilty of before we gave our lives to Jesus.

This does not mean the laws under the old covenant were wrong. It means we do not have to be perfect to be saved. His laws are now written on our hearts. We know right from wrong because He is with us, not because we memorized law. We obey our heart because we are in Him as He is in us.

We have been forgiven and he remembers our sins no more.
