if you are born again, then this is the "real you" that is currently "seated in Heavenly Places, in Christ".
That is not symbolic.
If you are born again, then you are "translated from darkness....TO LIGHT">
That is not symbolic.
Christ is the LIGHT of the World, His Father lives in LIGHT, and the born again are Children of the Light.
The word of God is Light.
All this, is NOT Symbolic.
The born again, have a dying body that exists on the Earth.
Inside this dying body is the "new CREATION" "in Christ", that is "seated in Heavenly places"..."Made Righteous".
See that part ?
That is the BORN AGAIN Spirit.
That is the REDEEMED Part. That is the made Righteous Part. That is the "One with God" ....real you, the "Son/Daughter" of God.
See that ?
That is the REAL YOU, if you are born again, and not just water baptized and religious.
This real you... cannot sin.. 1 ohn 3:9.
Has no sin......"being now made free from sin"..... Romans 6:22
Q.)???? Can Christ sin?
Is there any SIN in Christ?
The born again are "IN CHRIST".
You have to think about that....., You have to learn to believe that, as that is the REAL YOU in there.
So, what part of you is not born again, that God has to "perfect"...... Is your question.
It can't be your Born again Spirit, as that is "One with God, In Christ""" that is the Child of the Light.
So, what has to be dealt with that isnt born again?
= Your mind is not born again, and neither is your body.
This is why you will get a NEW BODY, if you are born again, and this is why you are told by PAUL = to RENEW your mind, if you are born again.
God renewed your SPIRIT, ...as Born again, that became a ETERNAL... """NEW CREATION>..In Christ.""""""
But He did not renew your mind.
You are told to do that... and until you do, you will think you are a sinner, sinning, and might lose your salvation, and a Cult will get you and destroy your Christianity.
Hebrews 13:9
So, the process of giving you Eternal Salvation , fell to God, and He did it through the Cross of Christ for you as "the gift of Salvation", 2000 yrs ago.
He saved you...= BORN AGAIN...... Finished Salvation.
Now, you are in the process, (if you are born again, and not just water baptized)....of perfecting your discipleship by renewing your mind, which is to "work out your Salvation"
Not earn it....but "work IT out.".
You've read that you are to "work out your salvation"...and that does not mean to try to keep from losing it, as a Religious Legalist will teach you.
But rather this means that you are to learn how to exist correctly within the Salvation that God has provided you, as a Gift, through the Cross of Christ.
If you are born again, you are IN The Kingdom of God already.. And now you have to learn how to exit there, by REAL faith, that is the RENEWED mind.
This is why God sends a real teacher.
You have to learn.
Listen.........>"Jesus LEARNED obedience by the Things HE SUFFERED", and you have to learn the New Testament, and that is why God gives, Pastors, Teachers, Apostles, Prophets, ... all of this.......so that you can be "Faith Perfected", or, you'll just stumble and fall, and be confused and find frustration and worry.
So, when you read an Apostle talking to unbelievers, He'll talk to them about their SIN.
About getting rid of it, by confessing, which is what most people do, when they are getting saved.
They ADMIT they are horrible, sinners, lost,.....needing Christ.
"REPENTING".... and "Believing".
Turning from unbelief TO FAITH.
When you read 1 John 3:9, it shows you the born again are being addressed... and that is why John says they "can't sin".
If you follow up and read Romans 4:8 and 2 Corinthians 5:19 .. you'll find out that God does not charge the born again with their sin.......ever again.
How can He? He has already JUDGED Christ on the CROSS for them all.
So, if you are confessing , and yet....you can't sin, as 1 John 3 tells you, and you read that God does not charge you with your sin if you are born again in Romans 4:8 and 2nd Corinthians 5:19. ...then its possible that if you reflect on this Truth prayerfully , ... God will show you what i just showed you as 2 verses that seem to contradict 1 John 1:9.
In fact they dont.
They just confirm that when you are "made righteous" by the Blood of God, then Sin cant be changed later to you, as "God has made Jesus to be SIN for US".
"Jesus is the one time ETERNAL SACRIFICE for sin".
You dont confess sin to be accepted by God, again, and again, exactly like you dont keep getting saved over and over...
See, the Cross Christ, that is the BLOOD Atonement, the New Covenant,= the GRACE OF GOD = is why God accepted you....So, did you do that, or did Christ do that for you so that God would have you?
So, confessing sin, is to not understand the Blood Atonement, or the "New Covenant", or the "Gift of Righteousness" or "the Gift of Salvation" = as why "God does not charge sin to the born again, ever again.
