THE BORN AGAIN..... are 1.) justified by faith and we are 2.) kept justified by faith.
So, that is "been" justified, and "BEING" justified.
That is saved and kept saved.
The BEEN, is.....>"your faith is counted as your righteousness".....
This means that God saw your faith in Christ in your heart, and accepted that faith to give you the eternal blood atonement and then the new Birth.
This is God Himself = providing it ALL for you, as a "GIFT".
You caused NONE OF THAT.
It was APPLIED to you, as God's Grace, which is the mercy of God, undeserved.
How is this accomplished?
1.) God accepts our faith to : "justified by faith". This means He accepts our faith "as Righteousness".
Literally God takes your Sin, and Jesus dies for it all and God takes the Righteousness of Christ and you BECOME THIS, as "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
This happens once, only once. and for ETERNITY. Its the "Divine Exchange".
= Born again.
Being born again PROVES that God has accepted your faith, once and forever.... and has REDEEMED you using the Blood of Jesus.
Its DONE.
Being Born again, is PROOF its completed, which is the : "been".
All your sin is in your past, erased, forgiven, and your future is "in Christ", as "Eternal Life".
2.) Faith then continues to Justify.....However, this is not your faith, as God has already accepted your faith, ONCE, as proven by being born again.
So, the "being Justified"... = .this is Christ's Faith that keeps you justified...or "being Justified"......= "continuing to be".
Its this.....>"Jesus is the Author and FINISHER of our FAITH."
So, see that?
The FINISHER of what? = Christ is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of = Your Faith.
See, you gave God something, ... You gave Him your faith as your confidence in Him that He would SAVE YOU, and God is faithful to do It. He is Faithful to complete your Salvation.
Philippians 1:6
See, your FAITH put your TRUST in God's hands, and He is "faithful to complete" what you have trusted Him to Complete. Philippians 1:6.
This is your Eternal Security. This is Jesus saying...."you shall never perish".
So, that is "been" justified, and "BEING" justified.
That is saved and kept saved.
