Like what you said here! If you think about it, those who should be saved will be saved, and not a one will be lost. God knows all who will be saved, and nothing will interfere with this; though believers are often delayed from spiritual growth but never hindered. It's good to know that God will not let the saved be ultimately deceived (Mat 24:24; Mar 13:22).Every Word from promise to warning that GOD , CHRIST and the HOLY men of GOD left us in that bible , IS FOR OUR GOOD .
thus let us not alter it , but rather take heed unto it and hit those trenches . Its all out battle for the souls of men and
satan knows HOW TO LIE . CLING TO CHRIST , FOR IN HIM we overcome and are able to resist the lies of satan and his peoples .
The born again Spirit is in union with God's Spirit, for eternity.
So, there is no sin found there.
The born again are "seated in heavenly places", "in Christ", and there is no sin found there.
So, Johann,.......What you are confusing....... is the carnal mind (the old man of the flesh) with the born again Spirit.
So, when you speak about a "christian" sinning, you have to make the literal distinction between what is the Born Again Spirit, and what is the mind of the flesh that is carnal at all times, that is "crucified with Christ" and Paul told you to "reckon it DEAD".
So, the Spirit, that is born again, is this..
= "As CHRIST IS< so are the born again in this world"'.
See that? There is no sin found there, and that is how the Born again exist., always.
And notice the born again are become "the righteousness of God, in Christ"......and there is no sin found there.
But the MIND, that is un-renewed, is the same mind that is in the old carnal man of the flesh, YET< because the Spirit has been "circumcised" apart from that old man of the flesh, Colossians 2:11......= because the old man is crucified with Christ......they are NOT "One" any longer.
This is why a born again Christian is not a Saved sinner, as the Born Again Spirit is "one with God".....a NEW CREATION..... having received "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
So, when you read a verse that says "being now made FREE FROM SIN", and you read how...."= God made Jesus to be SIN FOR US">.... "US" is the born again........when you learn this reality, as revelation, then you'll understand these 2 verses.
