How does God see sin in His people?

God's perception of sin in His people is profound, as communicated through Balaam’s declaration that He does not behold iniquity in Jacob (Numbers 23:21). This statement indicates that the sins of God's elect have been dealt with through the sacrifice of Christ, who bore our sins in His body (1 Peter 2:24). Thus, God sees His people through the righteousness of Christ, not through their failings. This truth is essential for understanding justification, which entails being declared righteous based on Christ's completed work and not our own righteousness (Romans 5:1).
