no longer counting people's sins against them.

2 Corinthians 5:19-21 NLT For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!" For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. --- You are a sinner. Sin builds up a debt. But you can only pay with your life. Death is the penalty for sin. Talk about consecutive life sentences, talk about death row or the chair, you've racked up that in spades. See God made you and he placed inside you a moral compass. It isn't going to set you free but this moral compass has at least shown you how far off track you've gone. Thing is you can even mess the moral compass up. Your navigational systems can become corrupted and give false readings. But you've lied. You've ignored God. You've thought more highly of yourself and sat in judgement on God. I'm sure you've thought if you were God you'd not have let this or that happen, because of course you know better than God. See sin is insidious. Sin creeps in like a tsunami and completely takes over our mind and heart. We need help. Jesus to the rescue. Because of Jesus God is not counting people's sin against them. This is more than a presidential pardon, this is God saying, sin what sin, my Son took care of that. Come on over for supper. It's a big shindig, oh you got nothing to wear, no worries, wear this from Jesus' closet. Oh and you stink after wallowing in all that smelly sin, don't worry I'll have Jesus wash you up better than new. Oh and that debt you owed me, Jesus paid that. Oh and the fact you wanted to kill Jesus and thought he got it all wrong, we've forgot that too. And by the way, we, Jesus and HS and I are sharing everything we've got with you. Welcome to the family! Now that is good news. Tell someone what Jesus had done for you. I've heard it said being a Christian is like one begger telling another begger where he got the bread.
