This site's exposition
the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us
on Hebrews 10:15-18
The Holy Ghost is named directly as the witness behind the citation that follows, Jeremiah 31 quoted a second time in the letter, now condensed to its two essential promises: I will put my laws into their hearts and write them in their minds, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Verse 18 draws the conclusion the whole chapter has built toward, where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin, closing the argument opened at verse 1's shadow that could never make the comers perfect. What the law's repeated sacrifices could never do, the new covenant's forgiveness has already done, remembered no more rather than remembered again each year.

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. See Gill on Heb 8:10. The words are cited to a different purpose here than there; the principal thing for which they are cited here, is to observe God's promise of non-remembrance of sin; which is no other than remission of sin, and which is not consistent with legal sacrifices, in which there is a remembrance of sin every year, Heb 10:3 and consequently, since this new covenant has taken place, legal sacrifices must be abolished, as the apostle argues in the next verse.
