Let me show you why what most Christians believe is not scriptural or spiritual.
Its like this.
Most believers define themselves as "the man" or as a "saved sinner" and that would be your body and your flesh, only.
The "flesh" is your mind and emotions, and will.
Mot believers believe this is what you are, whereas God defines you (if you are born again and not just water baptized).. as a LIVING SPIRIT .
If you are not born again then God defines you as a dead spirit.
Sin only resides in the mental and physical realm. It does not reside in God's Spirit.
There is no sin found "in Christ".
The born again, are "in Christ".
When you are born again, your dead Spirit is RE-BIRTHED, and that is now who you have become. That is the REAL YOU...... born again.
You are the "new CREATION". "in Christ", and have become a part of God Spirit.
There is no sin in God's Spirit. = born again, were you now exist.
That is the REAL YOU, as it is now made ALIVE by God's Holy Spirit.
The born again, exit IN the Kingdom of God, and there is no SIN in the Kingdom of God.
So, for most believers, the issue is.... that you dont SEE YOURSELF as God sees you.
This means you believe wrong.
And this wrong believing leads to scriptural confusion, heresy, and sinning and confessing and never being able to stop.
Listen,
God sees only the Born Again Spirit, and you have to learn how to only think this way about yourself, which leads to the correct mind of faith.
Until you do, You see only the old man, the body and the flesh.... as the real you.
So, if you are not saved, and born again, then that would be correct BELIEF.
But once you are born again, you are now a part of God's Holy Spirit, being born INTO God's Spirit.
You are now and always a "New CREATION".."in Christ".
So..Until you can see yourself only as the new Creation, who is born again in Christ as the Righteousness of God , you will not be able to understand the NT, or live inside the Grace of God as a perfected disciple.
