Romans 6
10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise you also, [a]reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Anyone who is in Christ 'does not sin', 1 John 3: 5-9 teaches us .
But what part of us is that> It is the part of us as a New Creation in Christ.
This is nothing to do with our body of flesh and blood, our carnal side can sin, our body dies-is dead because of sin, but the sins are all forgiven us, as in not recalled unto judgment of eternal death as we if we are New Creation in Christ, spiritually alive to God, in the Spirit and we are 'not in the flesh. regarded that way by God any longer.
It is also why we are PERFECTED in the New Covenant, we have been perfected FOREVER.
Some supporting doctrines on that.
Hebrews 10
Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [d]sanctified.
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 “This
is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17
then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” 18 Now where there is [e]remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
*****************************
1 John 3, and how bout that v5-9 verses, Apostle John is defining sin differently than how we tend to think of sin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of [
a]God! Therefore the world does not know [
b]us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
Sin and the Child of God
4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5
And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
***************************
Especially so in verse 9!
v9, and the Holy Spirit creation of you as a NEW Creation in Christ, that part of you is without sin.
That is the part of you that God saves. All the other stuff, well it can and may burn at the judgment seat, but you, you spirit will be saved.
1 Cor 3
Watering, Working, Warning
5 Who then is Paul, and who
is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field,
you are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1
2 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and
that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone [
b]defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which
temple you are.

2 Corinthians 5
The Judgment Seat of Christ
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things
done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
Be Reconciled to God
12 For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have
an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves,
it is for God; or if we are of sound mind,
it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [
d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore
you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin
to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
**************************
I have no idea if anyone will read these scriptures, agree or disagree, say they agree but don't like the way I said them, but they are there and you have to come to grips with the TRUTH yourself, hopefully the Spirit of God is working within you.
5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
This is a truth that if you have been made spiritually alive, then you LIVE according to the Spirit, you do not live according to the FLESH, you have been given eternal life and will never perish. You have been PERFECTED spiritually, you have been conveyed out of the kingdom of Satan and death, into the kingdom of Life and Love of His dear Son.
John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may
die, he
shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me
shall never die. Do you believe this?”
