What does the Bible say about God's view of sin in believers?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible states that God does not behold iniquity in Jacob or perverseness in Israel.

In Numbers 23:21, we see that God asserts He does not behold iniquity in Jacob or perverseness in Israel. This doesn't imply that believers are sinless; rather, God, in His grace, views believers through the lens of their union with Christ. Their sins are not counted against them because Christ has borne their punishment. Thus, while sin exists in believers, God's judgment is affected by His mercy, and He sees them as righteous in Christ.
