In verse 24 it says that we are justified by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. Justified means to be declared not guilty. When a judge in a court of law declares the defendant not guilty, all the charges are removed from his record.

Legally, it is as if the person had never been accused. When God forgives our sins, our record is wiped clean. From his perspective, it is as though we had never sinned.

Romans 3:24
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
