Ps. 90:8
      cast . . . behind back--consigned my sins to oblivion. The same phrase occurs ( 1Ki 14:9 Neh 9:26 Psa 50:17 ). Contrast Psa 90:8 , "Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance." (JFB commentary)

He Removes Them From Him Memory Forever
Heb. 10:3
Jer. 31:34
Heb. 8:12
Heb. 10:17
Look at Heb. 10:3 Under the Old Law remembrance was made of sin year after year-on the day of atonement.
- “The greater glory of the new law was its power to wipe the slate of sin clean, and give a fresh, new page….Forgiveness is the major difference between the two covenants.” H.A. (Buster) Dobbs
-The most precious words in all the Bible, perhaps, with reference to the hope of eternal life and in view of the number and weight of sins, are these, "And their iniquities will I remember no more." How sacred is this promise. Sins which people themselves cannot forget, God will forget! "`Remember no more' is a contrast to `remembrance year by year.' Man remembers, but God forgets when he forgives." F22 –J.B. Coffman

He Casts Them Into The Depths Of The Sea
Micah 7:19

- “To cast our guilt into the depths of the sea is a powerful figure of the utter removal of sin.” Bob Winton
-  cast . . . into . . . depths of the sea--never to rise again to view, buried out of sight in eternal oblivion: not merely at the shore side, where they may rise again. JFB commentary
-Eze. 18:22, His transgressions shall not be mentioned unto him; they are blotted out as a cloud which never appears more. He casts them into the sea, not near the shore-side, where they may appear again next low water, but into the depth of the sea, never to rise again. All their sins shall be cast there without exception, for when God forgives sin he forgives all. Matthew Henry
