Innocent in Christ

God gave us the current covenant of grace so that we can trust in Jesus instead of ourselves. Before Jesus went to the cross, sin was charged to all of humanity. Because of His love for us, He chose to sacrifice Himself to lift the judgment sin imposed on mankind and put it on Himself. Because of what He did, all believers are now cleansed, perfected, and holy. Now that we are in Christ, there is no penalty against us for sin.
