There are 2 dominions, .........found in the Spiritual Realm
1. Law
2. Grace.
WE are under one or the other.
When we are under the law, the law has dominion and it judges us.
Its the law that judges and defines us as "SINNER".
Its GRACE that defines us as "Saint".
When we are born again, we are "no longer under the law, but we are under GRACE".
See that spiritual dominion change?
Its real.
So, now, the law, can't title us, it can't define us, so......it has no right to judge us anymore as : "sinner".
It has no dominion over us. "Christ has redeemed us from the Curse of the Law".
"you are not under the Law, you are under GRACE".
UNDER= Dominion.
The born again now exist "Under Grace" and it is our dominion.
Why?
Because our sin is gone and Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law.
AND, the born again exist in the Kingdom of God, and there is no LAW there....so, there is no dominion of the Law.
The only dominion that exists in the KOG< is GRACE.
The only LAW that is the dominion of Grace is GOD.
Hes the dominion, and the Born again are "ONE with GOD, In Christ".
So, its GOD who defines us according to us being born again, as a "new Creation" "in Christ"... So that means, there is no law found in His Dominion, that can define you in this Eternal Spiritual Reality.
God, on the Cross, has resolved the Law, that was against you, by redeeming you from it, and then putting you into HIS Dominion.
"Translated FROM........Darkness.....TO Light."
This is why the Born again are only defined by "Grace" as that is God's DOMINION regarding the born again.... which is to be "the righteousness of God" "made Righteous"... in Christ".
---------------------------------------
You have read the NT and you read that ..>"we are translated from Darkness....>TO LIGHT".
See that?
That Light is God's Kingdom, and there is no Moses Law there.
God does not need law and commandments in His Eternal Kingdom...He's God. He's Holiness itself.
God's NAME is "HOLY".
This Law and Commandment stuff was made for humans on Earth, and given to us by MOSES, because we are sinners by fallen nature and had to be shown what we are BY the law and commandments that show us what we are,...... that then leads us to the Cross to get this resolved by becoming "the righteousness of GOD.....in CHRIST".
The law and commandments are a holy mirror that reflect us as compared to God's holiness, and we see we are lost, sinners, needing to be RESCUED.
This is The Cross.
Jesus's blood and death is our eternal rescue.., proven by Christ being resurrected.
The law is only for the unrighteous, who are down here on earth in this position... John 3:36
We the born again, are up there, we are "ONE WITH GOD">..and there is no Moses Law in this situation, that can define the born again.
We are "Under Grace", not under the law, once we are Born again Into God's Holy Spirit, by God's holy Spirit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The confusion for most Christian, is that they are trying to stay MENTALLY DEFINED (wrong mind, broken faith) by what isn't able to define you any more.
They are trying to keep defining themselves as a "sinner" when in fact they now spiritually exist in GOD, and there is no Moses Law found there.
There is only Grace., and Grace only defines you as "made righteous".
So, if you are having FAITH issues reflected as you can lose your salvation as your BELIEF..... you have to change the way you think, regarding understanding who you are become, as a Born Again, "made righteous", "Son of God".
You have to renew your mind from the old way of thinking of yourself as a "sinner", (carnal mind)..... or as a "saved sinner" and instead only see yourself as God has recreated you to EXIST, for ETERNITY< as "the righteousness of God, in Christ"...."made Righteous"....possessing "eternal LIFE.
And then when you read
Romans 4:8 that says that God does not charge your sin to you, and then when you read
1 John 3:9 that says the born again can't sin..... it'll make sense when it says you "cannot sin" ......perfect sense.
And when you begin to now see yourself as....>"As Christ is, so are the born again in this world"....it will make perfect sense, because that is the TRUTH.
------------------------------------------------
1.) Where there is no law, there is no transgression.
So, when We are born again, we are no longer under the law, we are "under Grace".
GRACE is the spiritual law that runs, that operates, that controls , the Kingdom of God.
All the born again..are in the Kingdom of God, and that is why we are SPIRITUALLY "seated in Heavenly places, in Christ'.
This is why all the born again are "One with God".... and ...."as Jesus IS so are the Born again in this world"
See all that?
That is the real you, the born again you, the you that is
1 John 3:9, that cannot sin.
This is the REAL You, that is "in Christ" and God only sees this "new Creation" as YOU.
He does not see your mind or your body as the real you.
God only sees you as His SON, born again, Spiritually.
So, when you instead see yourself as that person who just had that bad thought, you are seeing yourself as the old man, the sinful nature, and God does not.
This is why you think about SIN, vs seeing yourself as Made righteous and cannon sin.
Reader what about that stuff you confess..
Well, God does not evaluate it, you do.
God sees you only as born again, (if you are, and not just water baptized).
----------------------------------------------------
I always talk about the renewed mind and being made righteous.
That is because when you see yourself like that, as that TRUTH.......then you finally see yourself as God sees you, and then these issue with how your natural mind tries to define you as..>"well, i just did that again, so that's what i am and who i am"....stop being falsely relevant.
All that is relevant is this TRUTH......which is that God has remade you as His very Righteousness, and that does not ever change because of your behavior.
Listen....
Your behavior is your state, but your eternal status, is "God's Son", "made righteous". "having Eternal Life"...."born again"
Your emotional state changes from day to day......you are sometimes a better person, sometimes not so good, sometimes happy, sometimes not.... and this has no effect on your Born again Spiritual STATUS, that is always...>"One with God, In Christ"
Being Born Again is not impacted by how you think, its only created by God's Holy Spirit.
2.) Paul redefined the title of our carnal behavior as "works of the Flesh".
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
He did this because ....
The born again are not under the law, we are under Grace.
Grace is now our new dominion.,and we are under it.
Graces has dominion over us, and in this, there is no law or commandment keeping, that can define you.
The born again, as under Grace, are defined as "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
That is who you are, when born again.
The "New Creation" "in Christ" is the REAL YOU, that is the Son of God.
Your natural mind that is prone to lust and self righteousness and unbelief, and then worries, and confesses, is the mind of the DEAD YOU< that was "crucified with Christ".
Paul tells you to "reckon the old man dead", because in fact, He is....and you are now the born again New Creation in Christ, that God recognizes as the real you, because He has given you the "new birth", as PROOF.
So......When you do something that is a carnal deed.......
That is what Paul defines as "sin consciousness" and a "work of the flesh".
This is all related to the "soul realm" and not your born again Spirit that can't sin, and is made righteous.
The "soul realm" is your natural (carnal) mind, and this is always in opposition to the Mind of God, the Mind of Christ, and it wants to direct how you see yourself as a Christian.
It will tell you.....>"well, see what you did, that is who you are", "you're a sinner".
But that is not the right mind,..... that is the mind of the FLESH trying to run your FAITH.
We are told to "renew" our minds into perfect alignment with How God only and always sees us, as "made righteous". A "new Creation" "in Christ" as that is the part of you that is going to heaven. Not your body and not your carnal mind.
Paul said....>"as many as BE Perfect".....and that is all who have a renewed MIND that is controlled by REAL FAITH.
For now, until you are Raptured, you are stuck with this situation. You have to learn how to think correctly as REAL FAITH regarding who you are become , by new birth, as "the new creation" as who you really are, even tho, your natural mind informs you differently.
That " carnal mind" is not the right one and you are to "reckon it dead", and renew it, so that you discipline your mind and the way you think AS how you see yourself. You are only and always to see yourself as God sees you, which is..."made righteous".. "In Christ", "New Creation". "born again".
That is the "renewed" mind.
That is "walking in the Spirit"
