The Danger of Maintaining Sin-Consciousness
Playback speed
Sin-conscious people are consistently aware of their guilt and are therefore focused on sin in their lives. They don’t accept the fact that Jesus has already dealt with the issue. This is spiritually dangerous because being more conscious of our sins than of our righteousness makes sin the focus of our lives. A better way of thinking is to instead pay more attention to our innocence that Jesus died to restore to us; because God has forgiven us, we no longer have to live feeling guilty or ashamed.

Embracing Innocence-Consciousness
Our mindset makes a huge difference in how we live our lives. Being conscious of our sins causes us shame and condemnation; by contrast, being aware of our innocence in Jesus Christ frees us from negative emotions and changes our behavior. Most churches constantly focus on sin; however, Jesus delivered us from this, and God has now forgiven all believers. Faith in this this makes us righteous, so that we therefore no longer have to define ourselves by our performance.
