IF by "he will not let you forget your previous wicked life" you mean in this PRESENT life, you are correct. However, IF by that statement you mean this present life and life ETERNAL, this is incorrect.

Revelation 7:17 (KJV) "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

Revelation 21:4 (KJV) "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Furthermore, even though in this present life, one's knowledge of their sinfulness, not just sins committed, continues and increases, there is unspeakable joy and peace knowing that the LORD Christ has by His passive obedience; vicarious substitutionary death whereby all penalty for sins and guiltiness before God is removed, and by His active obedience; His perfect righteousness imputed to the elect believer.

Romans 8:1-4 (ASV) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
