What does it mean that Christ 'put away' sin?

Answered in 1 source

To 'put away' sin means that it has been completely divorced from the believer, no longer holding any legal claim (Hebrews 9:26).

The term 'put away' in the context of Christ’s work means that believers are completely divorced from their sin, akin to a legal separation in marriage. Just as a divorce nullifies the relationship, when Christ puts away sin, it no longer has any claim over the believer. This radical act signifies that sin, along with its guilt and condemnation, has been removed forever. Christ’s sacrifice enables believers to be seen by God as justified and accepted, as if they had never sinned, effectively changing their status before the Almighty.
