What does it mean that God has put away our sin?

Answered in 1 source

God putting away our sin means that He removes our guilt and the penalty for our transgressions through Christ.

When we say that God has put away our sin, we are declaring that He has completely removed our guilt and the penalty associated with our transgressions. This is rooted in the sacrifice of Christ, who bore our sins and made atonement for them. In Hebrews 9:26, it states that Christ 'has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.' The beauty of this doctrine is that it reassures believers that when God looks at us, He sees us justified and cleansed. This doesn't mean we won't face earthly consequences for our sins, as exemplified in David's life, but it assures us that God no longer holds our sins against us in terms of eternal judgment and separation from Him.
