What you've become "IN Christ": is not a work you do.

[Behold]

1.) If a believer is "sinning and confessing"..... then they don't understand the Cross of Christ or the Blood Atonement, or the New Covenant, yet.

So, that is the "natural mind" not understanding the 'new Covenant".. or the Grace of God, or being = "made righteous".

If i say that all the born again should think of themselves as this..........as Paul teaches...

= ""I am the Righteousness of God...In Christ""........then their carnal mind will think.....>>"how can i DO that".??..<<??

They will think of " doing it", because their un-renewed mind does not understand = "NEW CREATION"..."IN CHRIST"< Is not what you DO.
Its who you have eternally become,already... as = born again.
See, being now "the Temple of Holy Spirit" is not something you do for yourself.

2.) When a person is born again, they have literally been born again by the Holy Spirit of God, into the Holy Spirit of God. = '"one with God". "In Christ".

"God is A Spirit". and the CHRISTian is "born again" = spiritually.

The reason this is also know as "IN Christ" is because Jesus is God manifested in the Flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16

By being born again....They are now IN the Kingdom of God. They exist "in Christ"..."""seated in heavenly places"""", as "ONE with God".

And...While still on this earth, the born again exist as.. = "As Christ is...so are the born again, in...this...world".


A.) This isn't mental ascension or "behavior modification self makeover",.... Reader

As That stuff is taught by self righteous fakirs who dont understand being 'Made Righteous" is not what you do, its this..."The New Creation, in Christ" is the result of being born again.

And....regarding the born again.... They are literally become a "NEW CREATION"....located in the 3rd Heaven, while still down here typing on a phone or keyboard, inside a body that is "dead because of sin"... that will be replaced sooner than you think.

Are you ready to meet the Lord ??

A.) Stay ready.

The un-renewed mind can't see any of that eternal reality, and exists as... the mind of the flesh.... the carnal minded believer.

This means they will try to explain being born again, exactly as an unbeliever would try to explain it.
This means they will try to exist as a Christian, exactly as an unbeliever would try to DO it, as in both cases neither understand having become "a new creation, in Christ", as "the Righteousness of God, in Christ".

 

[101G]

Are you ready to meet the Lord ??

I thought you said the born again is in Christ in heaven, seated in heavenly places. so why do we have to meet him again?

101G.

 

[Behold]

I thought you said the born again is in Christ in heaven, seated in heavenly places. so why do we have to meet him again?

101G.

The born again Spirit, is "seated in Heavenly places".. as "one with God". ... "in Christ".

This is why your bible tells you that you are to be "in the world, but not of it", in your THINKING, as you are to understand that you already exist, with God, if you are born again, and not just religious, water baptized, but still lost.

The reason the born again meet Jesus in the Rapture, is to get a celestial ETERNAL body that is designed to contain the born again Spirit.
Your current body is "dead because of sin", and they are going to put it in a hole, or cremate it.... for you.
Have you decided which you choose?
Think on that, as they'll need to know, 101G.

Now...Notice this verse...

"" As JESUS IS....... so are the born again..... in this world"..

Notice this verse..

The born again... "Have been Translated from darkness...... To LIGHT".

And what is that?
That is the spiritual Union that occurs to every believer, when they are born.... again..

See that? = BORN.........again......


Where?

= "Translated from Darkness.... TO.... LIGHT".

This Light is the Kingdom of God. This LIGHT, is to become "In Christ"... "One with God"..

See, JESUS.... is the "LIGHT of the WORLD".... and all the born again, have become....."CHILDREN OF..... THE LIGHT">.

but do we yet live in this world?

101G

 

[101G]

one more question, is not the atonement for SINS that are PAST? Romans 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

now, what about the sins of the future while in Christ?

101G.

 

[Behold]

but do we yet live in this world?

101G

Yes, And so does God.

Yes, So does Christ.

Yet, they are in Heaven, right now.

Notice that the born again is the "Temple of the Holy Spirit".

"God is A Spirit"

"Jesus is THAT Spirit".

"Christ in you, the Hope of Glory".

"If you have not Christ IN YOU, the Spirit of God.. the Holy Spirit.... then you are NONE OF HIS"

So, the same way that God and Christ are in the Born again, down here.... is the same way we are "in Christ" and "one with God", "seated in heavenly places", right now..

But you have to be born again, or you are not. And water baptism can not cause this Spiritual reality.

 

[101G]

Yes, And so does God.

Yes, So does Christ.

Yet, they are in Heaven, right now.

Notice that the born again is the "Temple of the Holy Spirit".

the temple is where? on earth, our bodies. but have we not been washed, clean, (Baptized), but do we have the NEW TABERNACLE yet, or the NEW BUILDING?, so it a temporary one until he returns ... corrects.

"God is A Spirit"

"Jesus is THAT Spirit".

"Christ in you, the Hope of Glory".

"If you have not Christ IN YOU, the Spirit of God.. the Holy Spirit.... then you are NONE OF HIS"

So, the same way that God and Christ are in the Born again, down here.... is the same way we are "in Christ" and "one with God", "seated in heavenly places", right now..

But you have to be born again, or you are not. And water baptism can not cause this Spiritual reality.

So, the same way that God and Christ are in the Born again, down here.... is the same way we are "in Christ" and "one with God", "seated in heavenly places", right now..

well if that's the case why have a advocate, a mediator, and an intercessor?

101G.

 

[Behold]

the temple is where? on earth, our bodies

God in the Body of the Believer, = "Spiritual union" This is "eternal life" "in Christ".

. but have we not been washed, clean, (Baptized)

If water gets you spiritually clean, as the "water cults" teach.... then all you'd need to do after you sin, is take another shower.

Water "baptism" gets you wet.... nothing more.
Its just water.
So, when a "water cult" teaches that water washes away your sin, then they are denying the Cross of Christ.
That's a fact.

, but do we have the NEW TABERNACLE yet, or the NEW BUILDING?, so it a temporary one until he returns ... corrects.

We have a born again Spirit, that is now become 'in Christ", "one with God".

Our "tabernacle" is still .... our "your body is dead because of sin".

See.... its the SPIRIT in you, is what is born again by God's Holy Spirit.
Your Body, and your MIND< are not born again.

well if that's the case why have a advocate, a mediator, and an intercessor?

101G.

Because Jesus is the only way that God has provided, so that by His shed blood and death and resurrection, we can be restored to eternal spiritual union with God.
There is no other "way"... John 14:6

Immediately you went straight to the flesh. did I say anything concerning the flesh in Baptism? Water Baptism do this, 1 Peter 3:21 "The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

 

[Behold]

Immediately you went straight to the flesh.

Actually, what i did was "went straight to the water cult" theology.

You are familiar with this ???

A.) "Water washes away your sin".

Every heard that lie?
Its a lie, as water has no power, and a "priest" has no power to turn the city water supply into God's Redemption.

As Water, can't become the Cross of Christ.

God requires BLOOD, as a part of redemption, not water.

Look..

"Without the shedding of BLOOD, there is no remission, no forgiveness of sin"..

Can WATER shed blood?
Not quite.

But JESUS DID.

See the Cross of Christ for God's plan of redemption..."through faith".

Good Bible teaching. I remember the first time I repeated Paul's words, Before I immigrated to the united states.

"I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus" It didn't go over as I expected, I actually thought I was going to be stoned. But you know how it is when you start witnessing God's words to others there's no turning back. When it was all said and done some thanked me for bringing them the truth of God's word.

In 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked, and he walked in obedience to the Mosaic Law.

 

[Behold]

In 1 John 2:6, those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked, and he walked in obedience to the Mosaic Law.

Do you know why there is a New Testament?
Its because Christ fulfilled the Old Covenant, and became the New Testament.
He, Christ was obligated to "fulfill all law", so that by this the born again are :

A.) "MADE Righteous".

= "Not under the Law, but under Grace".

= "Christ has redeemed the born again from the CURSE of the LAW"

= "Christ is the END OF THE LAW..... for Righteousness, to everyone who BELIEVES" = all the Born again.

Yes.

The born again have become "The righteousness of God in Christ"., "made Righteous".

If we are not "made righteous" then we are not "one with God", "in Christ".

We would still be here :

John 3:36

 

[Soyeong]

Do you know why there is a New Testament?
Its because Christ fulfilled the Old Covenant, and became the New Testament.
He, Christ was obligated to "fulfill all law",

To fulfill the law means "to cause God's will (as made known in His law) to be obeyed as it should be, so Jesus fulfilled the law by spending his ministry teaching us how to correctly obey it by word and by example, and he did not establish the New Covenant for the purpose of negating everything that he spent his ministry teaching, but rather the New Covenant still involves following the Torah (Jeremiah 31:33).

so that by this the born again are :

A.) "MADE Righteous".

In 1 John 3:4-10, whoever practices righteousness in obedience to the Torah is righteous even as they are righteous and whoever does not practice righteousness in obedience to the Torah is not born again. To be made righteous means to be made into someone who practices righteousness in obedience to the Torah.

= "Not under the Law, but under Grace".

In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Torah and he chose the way of faithfulness by setting the Torah before him, so that has always been the one and only way to become righteous by grace through faith, and that is what it means to be under grace. In Romans 6:14, it describe the law that we are not under as being a law where sin had dominion over us, which does not describe the Torah, which is a law where holiness, righteousness, and goodness have dominion over us (Romans 7:12), but rather it is the law of sin where sin had dominion over us. In Romans 6:15, being under grace does not mean that we are permitted to sin, and sin is the transgression of the Torah (1 John 3:4), so we are still under the Torah and are obligated to refrain from transgressing it. Moreover, everything else in Romans 6 speaks in favor of obedience to God and against sin.

= "Christ has redeemed the born again from the CURSE of the LAW"

In Deuteronomy 28, it describes the blessing of living in obedience to the Torah and the curse of living lawlessly in transgression of it, so being redeemed from the curse of the Torah is being set free from living in transgression of the Torah so that we can be free to enjoy the blessing of getting to live in obedience to it. In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus gave himself to redeem us from the Torah, but in order to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the Torah is the way to believe in what Jesus accomplished through the cross (Acts 21:20) while returning to the lawlessness that he gave himself to redeem us form is the way to reject what he accomplished through the cross.

= "Christ is the END OF THE LAW..... for Righteousness, to everyone who BELIEVES" = all the Born again.

In Exodus 33:13, Moses wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him to walk in His way that he might know Him and Israel too, and in Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them, so knowing God and Jesus is the goal of the Torah, which is righteousness and eternal life for all who believe (John 17:3).

In Romans 9:30-10:4, they had a zeal for God, but it was not based on knowing Him, so they failed to attain righteousness because they misunderstood the goal of the Torah by pursuing it as through righteousness were earned as the result of their works in order to establish their own instead of pursuing the Torah as through righteousness were by faith in Christ, for knowing Christ is the goal of the Torah for everyone who has faith. In Romans 10:5-10, this faith references Deuteronomy 30:11-16 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to saying that the Torah is not too difficult for us to obey, that obedience to it brings life, in regard to what we are agreeing to obey by confessing that Jesus is Lord, and in regard to the way to believe that God raised him from the dead (Titus 2:14). So nothing in this passage has anything to do with Jesus ending the Torah, but just the opposite. The Torah is God's word and Jesus is God's word made flesh, so saying that Jesus ended the Torah is claiming that he ceased to exist. Instructions for how to act in accordance with God's nature can't be ended without first ending God. Your post is essentially proclaiming atheism.

 

[Behold]

In 1 John 3:4-10, whoever practices righteousness in obedience to the Torah is righteous

After the Cross was raised the OT (Moses) Covenant was replaced by the NEW Covenant = New Testament.

The NT now teaches us that if you try to be RIGHTEOUS before God, by "LAW" you are "under a Curse".

After the Cross was raised the OT (Moses) Covenant was replaced by the NEW Covenant = New Testament.

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which was a light to the Gentiles, and the Mosaic Law was how his audience knew what sin is (Romans 3:20), so repenting from our disobedience to it is a central part of the Gospel message. Furthermore, Jesus also set a sinless example of how to walk in obedience to the Mosaic Law, and we are told to follow his example (1 Peter 2:21-22) and that those who are in Christ are obligated to walk in the same way he walked (1 John 2:6). So Christ spent his ministry teaching his followers how to obey the Mosaic Law by word and by example, and he did not establish the New Covenant for the purpose of undermining anything that he spent his ministry teaching, but rather the New Covenant still involves following the Mosaic Law (Jeremiah 31:33).

The NT now teaches us that if you try to be RIGHTEOUS before God, by "LAW" you are "under a Curse".

The Mosaic Law was never given as a way of becoming righteous, so that was never the goal of why we should obey it, but rather it was given as instruction for how to practice righteousness. For example, the Mosaic Law reveals that helping the poor is a way to practice righteousness, but no amount of helping the poor will ever cause someone to become righteous because the only way to become righteous is through faith. God declaring us to be righteous through faith means that he is declaring us to be someone who practices righteousness through the same faith, which is why the faith by which we are declared righteous does not abolish our need to be a doer of the law, but rather our faith upholds it (Romans 3:28-31).

In Acts 5:32, the Spirit has been given to those who obey God, so obedience to God is part of the way to receive the Spirit, however, Galatians 3:1-2 denies that "works of the law" are part of the way to receive the Spirit, therefore that phrase does not refer to obedience to the Book of the Law. In Romans 3:27-31, Paul contrasted a law of works with a law of faith, so works of the law are of works, while he said that our faith upholds God's law, so it is of faith, and a law that our faith upholds can't be referring to the same thing as the works of the law that are not of faith in Galatias 3:10-11.

According to Deuteronomy 27-28, relying on the Book of the Law is the way to be blessed while not relying on it is the way to be cursed, so Galatians 3:10 should not be interpreted as quoting from Deuteronomy 27-28 in order to support a point that is arguing against Deuteronomy 27-28 by saying that relying on the Mosaic Law is the way to be cursed and refusing to rely on it is the way to avoid being cursed. Rather, the way to become cursed is by not relying on the Book of the Law (Deuteronomy 27-28), so all who rely on works of the law instead come under the curse for not relying on the Book of the Law.

In Galatians 3:11-12, Paul connected a quote from Habakkuk 2:4 saying that the righteous shall live by faith with a quote from Leviticus 18:5 that the one who obeys the Mosaic Law will live by it, so the righteous who are living by faith are the same as those who are living in obedience to the Mosaic Law while no one is justified by obeying works of the law because they are not of faith. In Isaiah 51:7, the righteous are those on whose heart is the Mosaic Law, so again the righteous living by faith does not refer to a manner of living that is not in obedience to it. God is trustworthy, therefore the Mosaic Law is also trustworthy (Psalms 19:7), so the way to rely on God is by relying on the Mosaic Law, it is contradictory to think that we should rely on God, but not rely on what He has instructed, and to deny that the Mosaic Law is of faith is to deny the faithfulness of God.

 

[Behold]

In Matthew 4:15-23, Jesus began his ministry with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand,

In Galatians 3:11-12, Paul connected a quote from Habakkuk 2:4 saying that the righteous shall live by faith

IN your first verse, Jesus is talking to Old Testament Jews, under the Law of Moses.
Is that you?
As if you are a Christian, then you are a New Testament Son of God, "Not under the LAW, but under Grace".


In your 2nd verse.... Paul is teaching that the RIGHTEOUS....... shall LIVE..... by Faith.

That is to be born again,, because God has accepted your FAITH,... "Faith is counted as RIGHTEOUSNESS", and God then gives this BELIEVER< the "new Birth, and they become a "new Creation IN CHRIST".
