the christians identity is not a sinner!

all humans inherited a sinful nature because of Adam, God said his spirit would always strive with man, israel after recieving the law repeatedly broke it................

so humans had a sinful nature and a law exposing there deeds of sin...

God sent his son jesus christ, who kept the law perfectly and didnt have sinful nature..

when a person believes jesus died for there sins, two things happen

1, there old man (sinful nature dies) they become spiritual, new creation, in heavely places, in christ, there identity is the new righteous spirit in christ.......

2.they die to the law, so they are free and can no longer miss the mark(sin)

so a christian has not had a sinful nature or been able to break the law, so there not a sinner and cant do the thing called 'sin'..........

paul said the evil he did it wasnt him that did it but sin in him........

so the evil we see in the flesh is not us, because its not our flesh, because a christian is not in the flesh but in the spirit......

we are a new creation in christ, and god send the holy spirit to indwell our mortal body and is war with the flesh(not our flesh) the flesh, and the spirit bears fruit, love, joy , peave self control, etc, note; these are the spirits fruit, not the christians, were not in the fight.....

we have not got to submit or surrender or obey or be disciplined, we are dead and hidden with god in christ............

we are slaves to righteousness, bearing fruit to holiness, dead to sin, dead to the flesh and the law, alive to God in christ.........

dont ask for forgiveness, were holy and blameless, the righteoauness of god in christ, new creation amen.

it is finished
