1.) Sanctification, is "completed righteousness", ....is already accomplished by us being "in Christ".
This is the effect of the Blood Atonement. Its the eternal effect of "The Gift of Righteousness".
So, where Christians, most, are totally theologically lost, regarding the basic understanding of their Salvation, is that.....there is a BORN AGAIN PART of us, the "new Creation", the "new man", "the circumcised from the flesh born again Spirit"....= and this is what GOD evaluates and not our old man, or our carnal nature.
When we read that we are "as Christ IS, so are the BORN AGAIN.in this WORLD"...This is a LITERAL TRUTH. Its not symbolic.
And when we read that "we are seated in Heavenly places, IN CHRIST".... This is a literal truth. Its not symbolic.
Both of these are speaking of our BORN AGAIN SELF. This is the real us. THis is the "new Creation" US.... that is " ONE" with God and restored back in to the 1st Adam relationship with God, via the 2nd Adam shedding His blood and dying for us.
What the Devil does, is use really bad teachers and really ungodly teaching to convince most Christians that their real selves is the "sinning repenting, failure". To be continued. = This is the devil's lie.
Most Christians see themselves, not as burn again into God's Spirit, but as the person who has a mind full of carnal ideas, and a self righteous personal identity.
So, until a person who is born again, sees themselves as GOD sees them....they will continue to evaluate themselves as a "saved sinner" and this wrong believing will keep them in bondage to their carnal flesh, their carnal mind, and their pride.
2. ) Jesus is our Sanctification. 1 Corinthians 1:30. """But of God you (the born again) are IN Christ Jesus, = who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—"
So, once again, we see that every part of our redemption is totally based on who we are become IN CHRIST.....as once again, this is the "God perspective"< that most Christians have not been taught to realize as THEMSELVES....their real selves, their "new Creation" born again spiritual Identity.
Christians are literally , right now, Spiritual citizens of Heaven who are stuck in a dying body on earth, waiting for Jesus to come and get them, if they don't die first and meet Him that way, first.
Beyond those 2..
WE as disciples must submit to God's evaluation of who we are "in Christ" and from THAT mental place of Faith, we find Grace as our mental home, (mind of Christ) which brings us to the place in our walk with God that leads to more and more perfection = perfected discipleship = "walking in the Spirit".
