How does God view the sins of believers according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God views the sins of believers as completely removed from His sight through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The Bible assures us that the sins of believers are removed as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12), meaning they are never to meet again. This amazing removal is due to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the sins of the elect upon the cross, allowing God to be blind to those sins. In Micah 7:18-19, it is stated that God will cast our sins into the depths of the sea, demonstrating His forgiveness and the completeness of the atonement achieved through Christ. Thus, God does not hold our sins against us because they have been paid for in full by the blood of His Son, creating a beautiful assurance of salvation for those who believe.
