How does God remove the iniquity of sinners?

According to Zechariah 3:9, God promises to remove the iniquity of His people in one day, a prophetic reference to the work of Christ. The text indicates that this removal occurs through the branch and the stone, symbolizing Christ's sacrificial death and His role as our Redeemer. This aligns with Isaiah 53:6, which states that the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all, making it clear that Christ’s death paid the penalty for sin. Thus, God's justice is satisfied through the substitutionary death of Christ, who cleanses His people and qualifies them for eternal life.
