Seventhly, pardon of sin is expressed in Scripture, by not remembering of sin, Jer. 31.34. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. It is an allusion to the Scape-goat, which was to bear the sins of the people on his head to carry them into the land of forgetfulness; Thus the Lord that remembers all things, that God is said graciously not to remember the sins of his people, not to remember them so, as to damn them for them, he will forget your iniquities and remember them no more.
Seaventhly, pardon of sin is expressed in Scripture, by not remembring of sin, Jer. 31.34. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. It is an allusion to the Scape-goat, which was to bear the sins of the people on his head to carry them into the land of forgetfulnesse; Thus the Lord that remembers all things, that God is said graciously not to remember the sins of his people, not to remember them so, as to damn them for them, hee will forget your iniquities and remember them no more.
Lastly, Pardon of sin is expressed in Scripture, by not imputing of sin, Rom. 4.8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. It is a word drawn from Merchants, when they have a friend that owes them money that they care not whether they receive or no, they do not put it down in their Book. God will not impute sin, he will not set sin on the score, he will not put sin to thine account, though sin be in thee, yet it is not imputed to thee. Thus these names or expressions do something illustrate the nature of forgiveness.
