Children of God shouldn't be sin conscious. They shouldn't by any way look out at their sins. The bible says in 1 john 1:7 that “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7).
In other words, if we walk in the light that's the Word of God as He is in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses us automatically from all sin. This makes us understand that we don't have to be confessing our sins all the time. If something doesn't go well or you do something wrong, just confess with your mouth, receive forgiveness in Jesus' name and that's all. Your sins will be wiped out completely.

Some Christians ignorantly ask for forgiveness which is wrong. A child of God do not have to "ask" for forgiveness. God actually wants us to receive forgiveness not to ask for forgiveness. When you ask God to forgive you, it’s like asking Him to save you.
In this case, how can you be sure that God will answer you? Just like asking him to save your soul how will you know He has saved you? You can't really know because He has already
saved you, there’s nothing for Him to do about saving you that He hasn’t already done. Children of God just have to do receive salvation; they don’t have to ask for it. It’s not different from forgiveness; we don't ask for, we receive. Because the blood of Jesus was shed for remission of your sins.

Some Christians are always asking for something they already have. We just have to apply faith. The truth some Christians don't know is that forgiveness is received through faith. Afterwards, it is wrong to go back again to receive forgiveness for the same offence, even when Satan brings it to your consciousness.

We have been cleansed and purged of our sins. The bible says in Colossians 1:21-22 that “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.”
We must walk with a sin free mind. We must refuse to be sin-conscious. Children of God must cultivate the right mind. Have it in mind that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; set your conscious right, be righteousness-conscious.
