22<\/strong>. mentioned unto him<\/em> ] Or, remembered in regard to him.<\/p>\n Verse 22<\/span>. All his transgressions<\/B><\/I>] Shall be so completely forgiven by God’s mercy, that they shall not be even mentioned to<\/I> him<\/I>; and if he live and die in this recovered state, he shall live with God to all eternity. And why? Hear the reason:-<\/P> <\/p>\n All; <\/B>not one of all, so the Hebraism is; every one shall be forgiven. <\/P> His transgressions; <\/B>personal, actual sins, in which he was not accessary, but principal; though great sins. <\/P> That he hath committed; <\/B>formerly did commit, but now repenteth for. <\/P> They shall not be mentioned unto him; <\/B>not remembered, i.e. imputed to or punished on him. They shall be as forgotten. So when God promiseth to pardon, he promiseth that he will not remember our sins. <\/P> In his righteousness<\/B> that he hath done he shall live; this penitent, whose last works are righteousness, proper fruits of repentance, shall live, be rewarded and blessed for his righteousness, yet without merit: life should be the fruit of his repentance and righteousness. <\/P> <\/p>\n 22. in his righteousness . . . heshah live<\/B>in<\/I> it, not for<\/I> it, as if that atonedfor his former sins; but “in<\/I> his righteousness” heshall live, as the evidence<\/I> of his being already in favor withGod through the merit of Messiah, who was to come. The Gospel clearsup for us many such passages (1Pe1:12<\/span>), which were dimly understood at the time, while men,however, had light enough for salvation.<\/P><\/p>\n All his transgressions that he hath committed<\/strong>,…. Before his repentance, conversion, and obedience:<\/p>\n they shall not be mentioned unto him<\/strong>; they shall not be charged upon his conscience, or brought against him in providence; he shall not be upbraided with them, or punished for them; but they shall be forgiven him, at least in such sense as to prevent temporal calamity and ruin:<\/p>\n in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live<\/strong>; he shall live “in” it, though not “for” it; this will be the fruit and consequence of his obedience and righteousness, that he shall live and not die, in the sense that has been already given, according to the tenor of the law,<\/p>\n Le 18:5<\/span>.<\/p>\n (22) Shall not be mentioned unto him.<\/strong>A <\/strong>strong way of expressing the completeness of the Divine forgiveness. Here, again, at first sight, there seems to be an inconsistency between the Divine promise and the actual facts of the world. The penitent and forgiven sinner is continually seen to suffer through life from the consequences of his sin, as Davids whole reign was overclouded with trouble and sorrow after his great sin in the matter of Bathsheba and Uriah. But here also it is the natural law continuing to work in subservience to a higher moral law. The natural consequences of any acts are not changed, or are only partially modified, by the subsequent moral state of him who has done them; but that moral state determines whether those consequences, however painful they may be in themselves, shall or shall not be really for his own highest gain. The absoluteness of the Divine forgiveness is seen by us, under the Christian dispensation, to be a necessary result of the ground on which it reststhe atonement of Christ. If the believer is truly united to Him by faith, he is a new creature (2Co. 5:17<\/span>), and is looked upon no longer as a sinful son of Adam, but, as he is in reality, a member of the beloved and only-begotten Son of God. Hence his forgiveness must be complete, for his sins are atoned for, covered up, hidden from Gods sight.<\/p>\n 22<\/strong>. <\/strong> Shall not be mentioned unto him <\/strong> Rather, remembered of him.<\/p>\n Eze 18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.<\/p>\n Ver. 22.

When God forgives a man the matter is dropped. There is a popular saytng uttered in prayers where the petitioner asks God to forgive our sins “and remember them against us no more.” Such a statement is an insult to the Almighty, for it implies that God will promise to forgive and yet might remember our sins against us after declaring they had been forgiven. It puts God on a level with hypocritical man who agrees to bury the hatchet, but who leaves the handle in sight.<\/p>\n 18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned to him: in his {e} righteousness that he hath done he shall live.<\/p>\n (e) That is, in the fruit of his faith which declares that God accepts him.<\/p>\n All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 22. mentioned unto him ] Or, remembered in regard to him.
