What Does Hebrews 10:17 Mean?
The quotation from Jeremiah reaches its glad conclusion. Alongside the law written on the heart comes a second pledge: God will remember His people's sins and iniquities no more.
Where the old sacrifices brought sin to mind year after year, the new covenant ends the reckoning entirely. For God to remember sin no more is not forgetfulness but the choice to hold it against us no longer, to set the account aside forever. This is the heart of grace. The conscience that once carried a yearly burden may now rest, for the One offended has Himself promised to let the offense fall and be gone.
Hebrews 10:17 in the Original Language
