A second expression that illustrates pardon of sin, is this, it is called a casting of sin into the bottom of the Sea, Micah. 7. 29. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, and will cast all our sins into the depths of the Sea. It is an allusion unto Gods great Judgement on Pharaoh and the Egyptian Host; when they pursued the Israelites, they came to the Red Sea, and thinking to go through as the Israelites did, the Sea fell in upon them, and they were drowned in the bottom of the sea, so saith God, I will deal with sin as I dealt with Pharaoh, you shall never be troubled more with them, not unto condemnation, you need not fear the rising of sin again, against you; sin is not like unto light weeds in the Sea, that will swim of themselves, but Lead that is cast into the Sea, the allusion holds here,1 Exod. 15. 10. Thou didst blow with the wind, the Sea covered them, they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 2God when he pardons sins and casts them into the bottom of the Sea, sin lies like lead, it can never rise of it self in a way of condemnation to a justified man, to a pardoned sinner.
