I wrote this as a bible study for GEN2REV.........and felt it needed a wider angle of view, so, here it is posted as a Thread for you.
"Sin" does not change.
God does not change.
Being born again does change everything, for the person.
What changes immediately IS = God's eternal perspective of the person who has become born again, and, the other things that change ::
1.) Under the Law
vs :
2.) Under Grace
Reader....When you are born again, Jesus has BECOME your sin bearer., and you have become, SPIRITUALLY, "the Righteousness of God in Christ".
This is the born again Spirit that Has become the SON/Daughter of God.
Obviously this is not your BODY, as your body is going to the Grave. And its not your mind as your mind has to be renewed.
So, the "born again part" that is the "SON/Daughter of God", is the BORN again SPIRIT.
See, When Adam fell, it was his SPIRIT that became separated from God.... not his Body.
SALVATION Through the CROSS<... is God bringing your spirit back into His SPIRIT, which is Himself...as ""God is A Spirit", by being Born again into the Spirit of God, by the Spirit of God.
See that, reader? That is SPIRITUAL UNION with God.
That is the BORN AGAIN Part becoming in spiritual union with God.......Its not your body or mind.. Its your SPIRIT, having become "ONE with God" and "God is A Spirit".
Now, BORN AGAIN = this is the part of you that is sinless, and kept sinless, as obviously there is no Sin in God, and if you're In God, "one with God", "In Christ", there is no SIN there where you EXIST as a SON/Daughter of God.
What about your body?
Your body is cursed, and will die.
Your Mind is TROUBLE, unless you learn to understand what i just showed you by FAITH, so that you understand the Distinction that God makes about the born again, which is, He only sees your Born again Spirit, as the REAL YOU, as this is now become a part of His Spirit., when you are born again.
Next..
The Born again... are YOU???? , If so you are not longer under the Law, as """Christ is the end of the Law"", for your righteousness.
He is Your Righteousness, and Christ is IN YOU when you are born again, and you remain spiritually connected to Christ's Righteousness, by being "IN CHRIST".. and the fact that God did this for you, is "The GIFT of Righteousness".
Now, when you read Romans 4:8.. Paul teaches us that God does not charge SIN to the born again.
It does not say your behavior will be perfect.
Why does God not charge SIN to the born again? Its because the part of you that is a born again Son, exists IN GOD, Spiritually, forever.
And, its because CHRIST has already been charged with your sin, so.... God will not charge you also.
God does not "double Judge". He does not Judge Jesus to DEATH for your sin on the Cross, then Judge you for them also, in Eternity, after you die.
This is why you meet God as your FATHER, and not as your Judge.
Now....What is "sin" for the born again, who are not defined any longer by the LAW, that use to have dominion over them, before they were born again, and could judge them as a sinner.
Its all on Christ. That's "what it has become"... Jesus is your SIN BEARER. And because this has happened, the Law does not have any dominion over the Born again, as they exist, as born again, in the Kingdom of God and there is no Moses Law found there.
Moses law is for SINNERS, down here on earth, Its #1 reason to exist is to show them that they need to be SAVED, and become a part of God's Spiritual Family.
The law and commandments are designed as a lifestyle boundary as their 2nd reason to exist. Their first and main reason the law and commandment's exist =is to show you that you are a sinner, needing to be forgiven, which you find as the Cross of Christ...... = Your redemption.
The born again now exist as. " You are not under the Law, but under GRACE".....and GRACE is the "law" of the Kingdom of God.
So, unbelievers who are "under the law" are judged by the law and defined as SINNERS.
THE BORN AGAIN, are not under the law, "But under Grace", and they are Only defined as a Son/Daughter of God.
Now, Gen2rev, you are trying to understand if im teaching "sinless perfection", but that is not a question you can ask and expect to understand the answer, as, to understand the sinlessness of a born again spirit, that exists eternally as "one with God" "In Christ" you have to understand what i just taught you. And because there are few Pauline Theologists like me left on this earth, you wont be finding this information in your church or in your commentaries, and that explains why i write posts and Threads, that read like they are a commentary.
Finally, or till your next question GEN2REV, that will be the same one, probably..... as you are trying to play "gotcha" instead of learning precious NT understanding that is so very rarely taught, anymore......as there are not many like me left.
Look carefully,
The born again are not under the law, nor are they defined by the law., as "Christ is the end of the law" for the Born again...which means God through Christ has made the born again, "the righteousness of God in Christ". and that is a GIFT, that is strictly related to being born again.
So, is there any "sin" in "the righteousness of God, in Christ" that is BECOME the Born again, Spirit?
No there is not., but that is a STATUS, as a Son of God, vs, being the idea of perfect behavior that can never make a mistake, regarding a body and a mind that are not born again.
