    About this ebook

    Most people are conscious about the “big four” sins: lying, stealing, fornication and murder. If you were to ask people for a list of sins they are not likely to mention the sin of forgetting. But God’s Word is clear on the subject. Forgetting is unrighteousness! To forget, to fail to acknowledge, to fail to remember are sins before God. Find out more in this latest addition to the Loyalty and Disloyalty series by Dag Heward-Mills.

    The Unrighteousness of Those Who Forget

    … God is not unrighteous to forget …

    Hebrews 6:10

    1. PEOPLE WHO FORGET ARE UNRIGHTEOUS.

    FOR GOD IS NOT UNRIGHTEOUS TO FORGET your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

    Hebrews 6:10

    Most people are conscious about the big four sins: lying, stealing, fornication and murder.   If you were to ask people for a list of sins they are not likely to mention the sin of forgetting.  But God’s Word is clear on the subject.  Forgetting is unrighteousness!  To forget, to fail to acknowledge, to fail to remember are sins before God.  

    Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

    Jeremiah 2:32

    It is incomprehensible to think of some of the things unrighteous people forget. 

    This classic Scripture on the subject of backsliding shows how a bride will not forget her wedding dress.  The wedding dress is the most precious thing to a bride.  

    Many brides order their wedding dresses long before their weddings.  In this Scripture, the absurdity of forgetting God is likened to the unfathomable possibility that a bride would forget her wedding dress.  

    People grow up and forgot who cared for them, who nurtured them and who loved them.  They forget those who brought them to Christ, those who raised them in the Lord and those who put them in the ministry.   Is it possible that people can forget the people who helped them at the most important crossroads of their lives?  Can they turn around and attack the very people who raised them up?  The answer is Yes!  It happens all the time.  

    People forget God when they prosper.  Europe has forsaken God because they have become the richest continent.  But it is God who gave them what they have.   People become atheists after they become millionaires.  What a pathetic sin it is to forget the one who gave you everything!  Indeed, it is unrighteousness that is worthy of the most terrible punishment.  

    2. PEOPLE WHO FORGET ARE UNRIGHTEOUS AND DO NOT HAVE THE NATURE OF GOD.

    FOR GOD IS NOT UNRIGHTEOUS TO FORGET your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 

    Hebrews 6:10

    God does not forget! Man forgets but God does not forget!  People who forget do not have the nature of God!  It is the manifestation of the fallen nature of wicked and depraved man to forget things that must never be forgotten.  

    A person who is controlled by the Word of God and the Spirit of God does not forget certain things.  

    The natural man does not like to remember those who helped him.  The natural unsaved man does not like to remember where he came from.  The natural man does not want anyone to know how he came to be who he is.  

    But that is not the nature of God. When Jesus walked the earth He constantly told us where He came from.  

    He said He could do nothing of Himself.  

    He said He was only speaking the words that His father gave Him. 

    This is in sharp contrast to the proud man of iniquity.  The proud and wicked man does not reveal his origins and beginnings.  He believes he is self-made and thinks he came on the scene by his own power.  

    3. PEOPLE WHO FORGET ARE UNRIGHTEOUS AND ARE CURSED TO WITHER.

    Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire?  Doth the reed-grass grow without water?  Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it WITHERETH before any other herb. So are the paths of ALL THAT FORGET GOD… 

    Job 8:11-13

    People who forget are cursed to wither.  So serious is the sin of forgetting that curses are rained on the lives of forgetful people.  You don’t need to hear a curse spoken against you for forgetting important things.  The Holy Scriptures has already declared that those that forget God shall wither.  Be careful that you remember all the ways the Lord has brought you and all the things He has done for you. 

    4. UNRIGHTEOUS PEOPLE ARE NOT CONSCIOUS OF THE DANGERS OF FORGETTING.

    By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

    We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

    For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.

    How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a strange land?

    IF I FORGET THEE, O JERUSALEM, LET MY RIGHT HAND FORGET HER CUNNING.

    IF I DO NOT REMEMBER THEE, LET MY TONGUE CLEAVE TO THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

    Psalms 137:1-6

    You must begin to take remembrance very seriously.  The psalmist knew that it would be a tragedy to forget Jerusalem.  He placed a curse on himself if he did not remember where he came from.  This is how serious the issue of remembrance is.  You might as well stop living if you do not remember certain things.  Your tongue will cleave to the roof of your mouth if you cannot remember where God raised you from. Your right hand will be unable to write cheques when you forget what God has done for you.  

    5. UNRIGHTEOUS PEOPLE FORGET GOD WHEN THEY ARE FULL, WHEN THEY HAVE HOUSES AND WHEN THEY ARE RICH. 

    LEST WHEN THOU HAST EATEN AND ART FULL, AND HAST BUILT GOODLY HOUSES, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 

    Deuteronomy 8:12-14

    The unrighteousness of forgetting commonly affects people who are full! People who live in their own houses tend to forget God.  Those who have multiplied all that they have also quickly forget God.  

    You must become the type of person who is rich and prosperous and yet mindful of where you came from.  It is a sad fact that many rich people talk a lot but give little.  People speak about the blessings God has given them but they do not honour God for what He has done. 

    6. UNRIGHTEOUS PEOPLE WHO FORGET ARE OFTEN PROUD.

    Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; then THINE HEART BE LIFTED UP, and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; "And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine
