So, how do keep from having a hard heart and fall to the trickery of sin? By encouraging and inspiring and lifting each other up in the Lord day after day. It's that easy. Instead of criticizing and gossiping and judging one another.

God forgets, wipes out, and erases our former life. God wants us to forget our past as He does. He is making things new and fresh for us. If we keep looking to the past while He is making things for us our thoughts are going to remain in the past and not on what He is doing now.

Isa 43:18, 19 Forget the former things, forget about what happened previously; do not dwell on the past, don't give it a second thought. 

See, I am doing a new thing, something fresh and exciting! Now it springs up, and come upon you quickly; do you not perceive it, can't you see it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland, it's like magic.

God wipes out, He erases all our sins, all our mess ups and mistakes. And, He does because He says He will. If just picks the ones He wants to and doesn't wipe out others then He's a fraud and liar which He is not. He does what He says He will do. He has a reputation for doing what He says He will do.

Isa 43:25 I, and only I, am the One who forgives, wipes out and erases your mess-ups and wrong doings, Because My reputation says that's what I do, And I will not remember any of your mess-ups and wrong doings for all eternity. (OutCast Version)

He was beaten so severely that He was recognizable. He really didn't even look human. He allowed this for our benefit. He did this for our forgiveness of wrong doing, healing and our salvation because He loves us beyond comprehension. Why does He love us so much. Who can answer that accurately? 

Isa 53:5 "But He was wounded, He was beaten beyond recognition for our transgressions, for our sins and our wrong doings, He was bruised, and His body and face was totally disfigured for our iniquities, our wrong doings; The chastisement and punishment for our peace to make us whole was upon Him, And by His stripes, His wounds, His beatings, and by the massive amount of His blood that flowed from Him we ARE healed.
