God's Gracious Accounting
Commentators explain that for God “not to impute iniquity” is a legal declaration. It doesn't mean you never sinned, but that God, as the Judge, chooses not to count your sin against you. This is possible because, as scholars note, the sin was “imputed” or charged to the account of Christ instead. This is the heart of justification—being treated as righteous because of Jesus.
