By your presentation you confess you're not in Him because you sin. According to your view here you must be confessing you're of the devil. Why are you doing the works of the devil by your own admission and practice?So you know you're not born again because you commit sin on a regular weekly schedule.
We need to be BORN again to LOVE brother in order to receive the NEW COVENANT promise to walk in God's Spirit to LOVE. Obedience to God's LAW is the very expression of what LOVE is. This is why JESUS says...
JOHN 3:3-8
[3], Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4], Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[5], Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6], That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
NOTE: what PAUL says that ties in nicely with what JESUS is teaching here about why we will not see the kingdom of Heaven if we live in the
flesh (carnal mind; sinful human nature) in
ROMANS 8:13 For if you live after the
flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.
[7], Marvel not that I said to you, You must be born again.
[8], The wind blows where it wants, and you hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from where it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Now brother the question is why do we need to be Born again in the Spirit? As partly answered in
ROMANS 8:13 above, if we live in the
flesh (carnal mind; sinful human nature) we will die because the wages of sin is death to all those who reject the gift of God's dear son *
ROMANS 6:23.
NOTE: how v6 ties in with
1 JOHN 2:1-4.
[7], Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
[8], He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
NOTE: What is JESUS coming to destroy? The works of the devil which is sin v8
[9], Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
NOTE: If we are BORN of GOD we are not practicing sin. WHY? because God's seed remains in us through faith. This is abiding in him and not sinning (known sin). What is the seed that needs to abide in us so we do not sin? *
LUKE 8:11 Now this is the parable the seed is the Word of God.
[10], In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil (Not sinning and committing sin): whoever does not righteousness is not of God (
PSALMS 119:172 All my commandments are righteousness), neither he that
loves not his brother.
Can you see brother you cannot separate LOVE from God's LAW?
God's 10 commandments are the very expression of what God's LOVE is. We are not saved by keeping God's LAW we are saved by faith in God's WORD as LOVE is expressed through us *
EPHESIANS 2:8. Walking in the Spirit brings the fruit of faith which is LOVE and OBEDIENCE to God's LAW *GALATIONS 5:16;
ROMANS 8:1-4;
ROMANS 3:31;
ROMANS 13:8-10.
RIGHTESOUSNESS comes from LOVE because LOVE is the fulfilling of God's LAW and the very expression of what LOVE is *
ROMANS 13:8-10. He that does not LOVE does not KNOW GOD for GOD IS LOVE *
1 JOHN 4:8. All those who are BORN AGAIN have a NEW HEART TO LOVE and FOLLOW GOD *
1 JOHN 4:7. This is the NEW COVENANT promise *
HEBREWS 8:10-12. Those who are BORN AGAIN do not practice SIN (breaking God's Commandments) *
1 JOHN 3:4-9. This is why JOHN finishes on this subject by saying; For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous *
1 JOHN 5:3 and is why JESUS says IF you LOVE me KEEP my commandments *
JOHN 14:15. UNLESS we are BORN AGAIN under the NEW COVENANT to LOVE we will not enter the KINGDOM of HEAVEN *
JOHN 3:3-7. We need to be changed from the INSIDE OUT.
Hope this helps.
