We should never claim innocence in front of God if we know that we are still guilty, not just 'feeling' guilty, but actually guilty. Jesus told His Disciples to Believe in Him, to have Faith in Him. All that Jesus has accomplished on the Cross for us can make us innocent if we come to Him on His terms. His terms are Repentance and Faith.
