Sea of Forgetfulness

Hi Pastor John,

I was driving to work this morning singing along to the song about “the sea of God’s forgetfulness”.  What a good song!  I love that song, but most of all I love to think about the sea of God’s forgetfulness.  It’s wonderful!  And makes me feel deeply thankful.  But it made me wonder where in the Bible this is talked about.  I did a search and other than Micah 7:19, there doesn’t seem to be a place where it is talked about.  Do you know where the Bible verse is?

Hi Jenny.

As you have learned, the song’s wonderful phrase, “in the sea of God’s forgetfulness” isn’t directly from the Bible.  But there are a number of verses which speak of God forever removing our sins from us, such as these:

Psalm 103:12:
“As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

Isaiah 43:25:
“I, even I, am He that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.”

So, let’s just keep singing that song!  I agree with you, that it is a good one.
