All that have come to Christ as repentant sinners to be saved by Christ are spiritually in Christ. God sees them as being "Complete in Christ" Colossians 2:10.
As far as God is concerned, they have been justified, sanctified and redeemed, 1 Corinthians 1:30. Spiritually they have been made to sit together in heavenly places in Jesus Christ, Ephesians 2:6. They are spiritually in Christ and Christ is in heaven. Colossians 3:3. They have been sealed with the Holy Spirit and are eternally saved. There is no unsealing, once sealed always sealed.
Physically, they are the chief of sinners, 1 Timothy 1:15. This can cause a great deal of stress in one's life. Simply because, "The flesh (Adam) lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit (Christ) against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would" Galatians 5:17. Christians are both saints and sinners at the same time.
We have not been totally redeemed yet. We are still in these sinful Adamic bodies that are prone to sin. We are waiting for the return of Jesus and the redemption of our sinful bodies, Romans 8:23. What is the solution to this problem? There isn't one. Paul said that we should walk in the Spirit or to be spiritually minded. To be spiritually minded is to believe the Gospel and to live in the Gospel. In the Gospel we are complete in Christ, Colossians 2:10.
