God's 'Not Guilty' Verdict
Commentators explain that for God “not to reckon sin” is a legal declaration. It means He chooses not to charge your sins to your account. This isn't ignoring sin, but rather, as John Gill notes, it's because He has already charged those sins to the account of Jesus Christ. You are treated as pardoned and righteous, not because you are sinless, but because your sin has been paid for.
