How do we know that God can forget our sins?

Answered in 1 source

God can forget our sins through the propitiation of Christ, as stated in Hebrews 8:12.

The concept of God forgetting our sins is rooted in Hebrews 8:12 where it says, 'For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.' This is possible because through the atonement of Christ, God's wrath against sin has been satisfied. Therefore, when we are in Christ, our sins are not just overlooked; they are completely put away. The divine act of being propitiated means that God has no rational basis to hold our sins against us anymore, as they have been fully dealt with in Christ.
