Jesus is the Light of the world, and we are the Children OF = THE LIGHT< and God exists as A Spirit, in THE LIGHT.
That Light is Righteousness, Truth, Wisdom, Power......ect.

So, the born again, are a part OF that Light, by being born again INTO GOD, and existing at all times, as... "IN CHRIST"< who is THE Light.
WE are "children of the Light", "translated from darkness = TO LIGHT".......from the devil's kingdom, INTO God's Kingdom of LIGHT, that is the "Kingdom of God", is where we now and forever exist.

The part of us that exists in THAT LIGHT< cannot sin, as its a part of the Light,... and that is the born again part of us, that is "incorruptible".
Sin does not affect this, as this is our born again Spirit, that is "circumcised from the flesh".
So, sin, exists in the soul realm, (mind), and that part is not changed into "incorruptible", which is why we are told to "renew our mind" and reckon that old man (that mind of the flesh) dead, as it was crucified with Christ.

See, if our mind was already renewed....then we'd not have to renew it.
Our born again Spirit is renewed as a "new creation IN Christ", but we, the born again, have to renew our own minds.
This is all and strictly related to how you BELIEVE, which plays out as your lifestyle.

If you believe wrong, after you are born again, you will live wrong.
If you believe right, after you are born again, you will live right.
