You have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
God wants us to see ourselves as righteous and we should be conscious of that and say “I am the righteousness of God in Christ. There is no spot in me whom He has perfected with His blood.” We honor Jesus and His finished work when we do that.
If we are conscious of our sins, we are not honoring the work of Jesus.. You may think that you are being humble or holy by being sin-conscious. But do you know that the Bible calls sin-consciousness an “evil conscience”?
Paul calls an “evil conscience “ a "conscience seared with a hot iron”. (1 Timothy 4:2)
Our lifetime of sins has already been fully punished when Jesus died on the cross. We should always be aware of our perfection and righteousness in Christ. Because of what He has done for you, you can boldly declare, “I am all fair. There is no spot in me!” So don’t go around with an evil or seared conscience.
