A second expression that illustrates pardon of sin is this, it is called a casting of sin into the bottom of the Sea, Micah 7.17. 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, ⟨p. 68⟩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, Exod. 15.10. Thou didst blow with the wind, the Sea covered them, they sank as lead in the mighty waters. God when he pardons sins he casts them into the bottom of the Sea, it lies like lead, it can never rise of it self in a way of condemnation to a justified man, to a pardoned sinner.
