Then God wipes it away, never to be remembered again. If we have sinned, we have opportunity while in this life to repent and get forgiveness. Imagine what it will be like when God begins to page through our memories on Judgment Day. God’s accounts are so carefully kept that, as Jesus said, we must even give account for every idle word. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” Revelation 20:11-15. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
