As a Christian, you know that Christ died and rose from the grave for us and we are now forgiven. In fact, all can be forgiven of their sin and granted access to the kingdom of God as long as they trust in Jesus Christ. This seemed so elementary to me until a question came up: "Why is it important for us to remember Him?"
This caused me to stop and think. I knew, before even giving the thought words, that it is critical to remember Him and to forget Him was to forget life, but I couldn't explain it all. Yes, Jesus Christ came, died, and rose again for us so that we may be washed clean, but why is it important for us to remember Him? Take a moment and answer it yourself.
I personally believe that it is important to remember Him because without Him we are hopeless. If we were to brush Him off like an average Joe that we met at a party and expected to never meet again, we would never be able to indulge in the gifts that Jesus Christ has given us: forgiveness, love, grace, mercy, justification, righteousness. We need to remember Jesus in order to be made whole, made clean, and made right before God. If we forget Jesus, we will continue to walk blindly in our sin and never have hope again. We need Jesus Christ. Remembering Him is as essential as remembering how to breath.
