“Once the sacrifice has burned into ashes on the altar, your sin is nothing but ashes, as well. The Holy One forgives us – and we have to believe it in faith. That means leaving our past in the past, not agonizing over it, not bringing it to life in your memory again and again. We must forget it the same way God does – ‘As far as the east is from the west.’ That’s how far in the past our sins will be.”
