What does it mean to be pronounced clean by God?

Answered in 1 source

Being pronounced clean by God signifies the acceptance of an atonement and the removal of guilt through Christ.

When a sinner comes to Christ and confesses their sin, they are pronounced clean by God. This declaration is rooted in the atonement made through the blood of Christ, which cleanses from all sin. The priestly role of Christ assures believers that they are accepted and regarded as clean, not due to their righteousness but through grace alone. The act of being declared clean is not about self-improvement but about God's pronouncement of innocence owing to Christ’s sacrifice, thereby liberating the believer from the guilt and shame of their sin.
