When you are born again, you are made righteous ~ you were justified ~ you were sanctified!
You can read in Rom 8:1, we see that "there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
Did you know that you were justified? We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23), but thankfully we have recieved the righteousness of Jesus when we were born again (Rom 5:17) and justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom 3:24). We have been made the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:21). You have been sanctified throught the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all (Heb 10:10). Read HEB 10~God doesn't wish for us to feel guilt and less than worthy due to sin.
God sees us as righteous even tho we repent of our sins.
I know many follow a more 'sin conscious' doctrine, but do you consider these scriptures? Do you feel the weight of sin? No judgements please :D
