I would say that the Idea that we are a new creation, would figure into the equation.

Christ fulfilled all that was necessary, and we can be assured that our standing with the creator God is perfect.
See acts acts 13:16-41 (look at it!)
2Co 5:17 Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.
2Co 5:18 All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also.
2Co 5:19 Our message is that God was making [size=150]all human beings his friends through Christ[/size]. God did not keep an account of their sins, and he has given us the message which tells how he makes them his friends.
