This concept is foundational in understanding the nature of humanity before the Fall, the character of Jesus Christ, and the call for believers to live a life of holiness.<br><br><b>Innocence in Creation and the Fall</b><br><br>The Bible begins with the account of creation, where Adam and Eve were created in a state of innocence. <a href="/genesis/1-27.htm">Genesis 1:27</a> states, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." In their original state, Adam and Eve lived in perfect harmony with God, untainted by sin. <a href="/genesis/2-25.htm">Genesis 2:25</a> describes this innocence: "And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed."<br><br>The loss of innocence occurred with the Fall, as described in <a href="/bsb/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3</a>. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they became aware of their nakedness and experienced shame and guilt for the first time. This act of disobedience introduced sin into the world, fundamentally altering the human condition and separating humanity from God.<br><br><b>Innocence and the Law</b><br><br>The Mosaic Law, given to the Israelites, served as a guide to living a life of righteousness and innocence before God. However, the Law also highlighted humanity's inability to maintain innocence through their own efforts. <a href="/romans/3-20.htm">Romans 3:20</a> states, "Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin."<br><br><b>Innocence in Christ</b><br><br>Jesus Christ is the ultimate embodiment of innocence. As the sinless Son of God, He lived a life of perfect obedience to the Father. <a href="/hebrews/4-15.htm">Hebrews 4:15</a> affirms this, saying, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin." Christ's innocence made Him the perfect sacrifice for the sins of humanity, fulfilling the requirements of the Law and restoring the possibility of innocence before God for those who believe in Him.<br><br><b>Innocence and the Believer</b><br><br>Believers are called to pursue a life of innocence and purity, reflecting the character of Christ. <a href="/philippians/2-15.htm">Philippians 2:15</a> encourages Christians to "become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world." This pursuit is not achieved through human effort alone but through the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.<br><br>The innocence of believers is both a present reality and a future hope. Through faith in Christ, believers are justified and declared innocent before God. <a href="/romans/5.htm">Romans 5:1</a> states, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Additionally, the ultimate restoration of innocence will be realized in the new creation, where sin and its effects will be completely eradicated.<br><br><b>Innocence and Children</b><br><br>The Bible often uses children as symbols of innocence. Jesus highlighted the importance of childlike innocence in the spiritual life, saying in <a href="/matthew/18-3.htm">Matthew 18:3</a> , "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." This statement underscores the value of humility, trust, and purity of heart in the believer's relationship with God.<br><br>In summary, innocence in the biblical narrative is a multifaceted concept that encompasses the original state of humanity, the redemptive work of Christ, and the ongoing sanctification of believers. It serves as a reminder of God's holiness and the call for His people to live in a manner that reflects His character.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>n.</I>) The state or quality of being innocent; freedom from that which is harmful or injurious; harmlessness.<p>2.

In Daniel the Hebrew is zakhu, and the innocence expressed is the absence of the guilt of disloyalty to God. In all the other places the Hebrew is niqqayon, and the innocence expressed is the absence of pollution, Hosea having reference to the pollution of idolatry, and the other passages presenting the cleansing under the figure of washing hands. the King James Version has innocent not fewer than 40 times. In one place (<a href="/1_kings/2-31.htm">1 Kings 2:31</a>) the Hebrew is chinnam, meaning "undeserved," or "without cause," and, accordingly, the American Standard Revised Version, instead of "innocent blood. shed," has "blood. shed without cause." In another place (<a href="/job/33-9.htm">Job 33:9</a>) the Hebrew is chaph, meaning "scraped," or "polished," therefore "clean," and refers to moral purity. In all the other places the Hebrew is naqi, or its cognates, and the idea is doubtless the absence of pollution. In more than half the passages "innocent" is connected with blood, as "blood of the innocent," or simply "innocent blood." In some places there is the idea of the Divine acquittal, or forgiveness, as in <a href="/job/9-28.htm">Job 9:28</a>: "I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent" (compare <a href="/job/10-14.htm">Job 10:14</a>, where the same Hebrew word is used). The New Testament has "innocent" twice in connection with blood-"innocent blood," and "innocent of the blood" (<a href="/matthew/27-4.htm">Matthew 27:4, 24</a>).<br><br>E. J.
