We may forget many
things, but God remembers: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name.” Nor does He ever forget
a promise. God even remembers the sparrows - “Not one of them is forgotten
before God.” And He certainly remembers His own children - “For he knoweth our
frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” God remembers the evil as well as the good, of
course. The one thing He chooses not to remember is the sinful past of those
who have come to Christ for forgiveness - “And their sins and their iniquities
will I remember no more”
BY HENRY M. MORRIS, PH.D.
“And God remembered
Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark:
and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged.” - (Genesis 8:1)
This verse contains the first mention of the beautiful word “remember” in
the Bible, and it tells us that God remembers!
During the awful cataclysm of the Flood, the most devastating event
thus far in the history of the world, God still remembered the faithful
obedience of Noah, and He even remembered every living thing!
We may forget many things, but
God remembers: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name” - (Hebrews 6:10).
Nor does He ever forget a promise.
The first mention of “remember” in
the New Testament is the Spirit-inspired testimony of Zacharias: “Blessed
be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people . . . to
remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham” - (Luke 1:68, 72-73).
And He certainly remembers His
own children: “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are
dust” - (Psalm 103:14).
Even after the children of
Israel had gone deeply into idolatry, He could still say, “I remember
thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest
after me in the wilderness” - (Jeremiah 2:2).
The one thing He chooses not to remember is the sinful past of those
who have come to Christ for forgiveness.
The Institute for
Creation Research (ICR) wants people to
know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and
why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and
receive all He has planned for us.
After 50 years of
ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the context of
biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists to conduct
scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history, and then to
educate the public both formally and informally through professional training
programs, through conferences and seminars around the country, and through
books, magazines, and media presentations.
