I. Look at the fact of God's remembrance of sin. (1) God remembers all kinds and degrees of sin; secret and open, wilful and negligent. (2) God remembers the sins of all men; the sins of the young and of the aged, of the well-known citizen and of the stranger. (3) God remembers the sins of all men accurately and completely. (4) God remembers continually and for ever. (5) God remembers with a practical result; He remembers thai He may act upon His recollections. He remembers as a Ruler, and He either forgives or He punishes.
II. Look at this fact as forgotten by those who, ought to remember it. "They consider not in their hearts;" they do not think. Lack of thought often accounts for lack of religion.
III. Turn to God's complaint of this forgetfulness. God complains of the state of the heart. God complains of forgetfulness; and why? Because it sears the conscience, leads to false views of a man's position, is personally offensive to God, and is frequently the occasion of final ruin.
