How do we know that God does not impute sin to His people?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture assures us that God does not impute sin to His people because their sins were imputed to Christ.

The assurance that God does not impute sin to His people is firmly established in passages like Romans 4:8, which states, 'Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.' According to the sovereign grace teaching, all the sins of God's elect have been imputed to Christ, who bore the punishment for them on the cross. This means that for those in Christ, the demands of divine justice have been satisfied, and thus God sees them as justified and righteous. This concept is integral to the faith of believers as it removes the fear of condemnation and emphasizes the unconditional love of God towards them.
