How does God remove our sins according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God removes our sins through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who takes our sins upon Himself.

The removal of sin in the believer's life is a profound and foundational aspect of the Christian faith. According to Zechariah 3:4, the angel of the Lord commands that the filthy garments of Joshua, representing our sins, be taken away. This act is representative of Christ's work on the cross, where He bore the iniquities of His people. God does not simply overlook our sins; instead, He has placed them on Christ, who was made sin for us, as 2 Corinthians 5:21 explains. Through Christ's sacrifice, our sins are not only forgiven but also removed from us entirely, allowing us the righteousness of Christ to be imputed to us. This transformative act ensures that we are clothed in His righteousness, as illustrated by the new garments placed on Joshua. Therefore, in God's eyes, we are made clean and acceptable, no longer burdened by the shame of our sin.
