What does it mean that God remembers our iniquities?

Answered in 1 source

God remembers the iniquities of the unrepentant but forgives the sins of His people through Christ.

In Revelation 18:5, the phrase 'God hath remembered her iniquities' illustrates the concept that God holds accountable the sins of those who refuse to repent and turn from their ways. This act of remembering signals judgment for those who remain in rebellion against Him. However, for His people, the New Covenant in Hebrews 8:12 assures believers that their sins and iniquities will not be remembered, echoing the promise of total forgiveness through Christ. This distinction emphasizes the grace afforded to the elect, who are viewed through the lens of Christ's righteousness rather than their own failings.
