I fair enough, do you believe we enter in to Christ?I'm not sure I understand your question.
The answer that is obviously correct is 2).Let's try this again.
Now, @Behold,
I do think that our abiding is done in faith and not by attempting to live a life that is free from the practice of sin.
However, I also believe that the result of truly abiding is that a man will "sin not" (1 John 3:6);
and also, if a man is born of God, he "doth not" and "cannot" commit sin (1 John 3:9).
Therefore, if I find myself living in a lifestyle of sin, it would be a proper conclusion to believe that I am not born again, nor abiding in the new birth that God has given me.
What would you say is the solution to such a thing?
1) Are we to just deny that we actually sinned, in order that we might continue to believe that we are truly born again?
Or,
2) ought we to begin to seek the Lord, that He might deal with the sin that has overtaken us as we lay it before the Cross?
Positionally we have no sin if we are in Christ. For the Father looks down on us and sees the blood.I fair enough, do you believe we enter in to Christ?
The reason I ask is because I know you've post before,,, there is no sin in Him?
Is this to say that we have no indwelling sin if we are in Christ?2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Maybe this will help?
So does Christ secure what has entered, I believe this is what @marks was attempting to convey in his thread the old man and new man?
What enters in?Is this to say that we have no indwelling sin if we are in Christ?

The old man doesn't get passage,I don't know what you are referring to.
Where, then, does indwelling sin reside?The new creature created/born of God has no indwelling sin.
Crucified!Where, then, does indwelling sin reside?
I agree, and here's why, the mind is renewed in Christ, and as I await my members to perform what this renewed mind is counciling, I await with faith a fruit of the Spirit given that He has me secured.It still exists in the believer; but it is rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8).
That's a nice thought - but it's NOT what the Bible teaches.Sanctified by the Blood. "Jesus is become our Sanctification, Justification, Redemption"...
Once a Saint, never again a sinner.
Always the Righteousness of God.
"where sin abounds, Grace more abounds".
Paraphrase, .. When God saved you, He new your future. He already SAW all the "sin" (works of the flesh) you would do later, and He saved you anyway.
Why?
Because there is no sin "in Christ".
God knows that the Blood of Christ, that is God's Gift of Sanctification, is always in PROCESS, its always WORKING.
It never stops keeping us CLEAN and RIGHTEOUS.
= The blood that saved you, KEEPS YOU SAVED".
= Eternal Security
= Once SAVED by the blood, you are always saved by the BLOOD..
The religious person, the self savor, the Legalist, the heretic.... cannot believe that all our future carnal deeds (sin, works of the Flesh) are always dealt with by the Blood.
This is why "repenting" from "dead works".... is to be a baby minded believer..... and Paul said we are to GROW UP in our Maturity of Understanding about this issue of "sin" and "repenting".....and get past that, in our Theology and Faith. Hebrews 6
There is no SIN found in the Blood of Jesus, and the Blood of Jesus is always applied to us. = Born Again.
Its not a case of....>"ok, i sinned, now im lost again,... or, im in broken fellowship and i need to REPENT to Get GOD to RE-CLEANSE me with the BLOOD".
How crazy is that type of thinking. ???????
This person thinks..........""""I need a new blood bath God, i sinned that same sin again, and thats the 56th time this month, so, can you send Jesus back to the Cross for me again if i repent again and again and again and again"? "i need a blood bath do-over".
See, that is the carnal minded theology of the baby believer who does not yet SEE that Jesus entered into the Holy Place with His BLOOD = ONE TIME, and "Obtained eternal redemption for us, = ONCE AND FOR ALL"..
= ALL. Colossians 2:13. "ALL sin is GONE".
Our flesh does not want to receive this Truth. Our flesh wants to play a part in God's Salvation. Our FLESH wants to say.>"well, my part is... I do this and i do that, and i keep doing that, and commandments and enduring, and ME ME ME ME, what i DO DO DO DO...
And that self righteousness is not FAITH in CHRIST...... and GOD does not accept any of that self effort.
Cain tried it in Genesis, and got kicked out. Jude defines this carnal flesh head as committing the "error of CAIN".
God sees us always as IN CHRIST< and never does He see us OUT of Christ.
There is no sin found, "in Christ".
