God has let you go because of Jesus
God cancelled that effect of sin when Jesus died on the cross for us

He restored me to the state of innocent
From enemy status to friend status because of Jesus
God has brought me to Himself
COLOSSIANS 1:21 EASY
As for you, you were far away from God at one time.
You thought bad things and you did bad things.
As a result, you were God's enemies.
COLOSSIANS 1:22 EASY
But now you have become God's friends.
This happened because Christ's human body died on the cross.
As a result, God has brought you to himself.
As you STAND in FRONT of HIM, you are COMPLETELY GOOD and CLEAN INSIDE.
HE sees NOTHING in you that is bad.
COLOSSIANS 1:22 GW
But now Christ has brought you back to God by dying in his physical body.
He did this so that you could come into God’s presence WITHOUT SIN, FAULT, or BLAME.
COLOSSIANS 2:11-15 MSG
Entering into this fullness is not something you figure out or achieve.
It’s not a matter of being circumcised or keeping a long list of laws.
No, you’re already in—insiders—not through some secretive initiation rite but rather through what Christ has already gone through for you, destroying the power of sin.
COLOSSIANS 2:11-15 MSG
If it’s an initiation ritual you’re after, you’ve already been through it by submitting to baptism.
Going under the water was a burial of your old life; -
coming up out of it was a resurrection, -
God raising you from the dead as he did Christ.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-19 AMP
But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him],
that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself,
not counting people’s sins against them [but CANCELING them].
And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation
[that is, RESTORATION to FAVOR with GOD].
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-20 MSG
Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a FRESH START, is created NEW.
The old life is gone; a new life emerges!
Look at it!
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-20 MSG
All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.
God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a FRESH START by OFFERING FORGIVENESS of SINS.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17-20 MSG
God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing.
We’re Christ’s representatives.
God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now:
Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.
God does not hold anything against us
2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 MSG
How? You ask.
IN CHRIST.
God put the wrong on him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.
You are put right with God
